Daisy Noyes is a photographic artist based between Melbourne Australia, and rural Massachusetts. She utilizes camera-less technologies, digital and large format film cameras, and works in the space between photography and performance. Sometimes her images are records of fleeting actions or interventions in the environment; other times they are records of a body interrupting the print itself. Her current practice explores parent-child relationships and living inter-generationally through process-based methodologies. She also often works in collaboration or at cross-purposes with her children.
