Noëlle Maline
Documenting transparent things and recording imaginary communication.
Being able to see sound and hear shadows. Translating static, echoes and sound waves into something that is tangible.
I grew up down by the sea in an old lookout tower in California. My childhood was surrounded by eccentric people and a family that supported creativity. Early on I started exploring and creating things from the ideas in the back of my mind. I began by learning several different techniques to create these stories and worlds. Art has been my preferred language ever since I can remember.
My most recent works entail mapping layers of communication. Creating a narrative with mixed media paintings, photographs, collages, sound art montages, and multi-layered installations of hidden rooms.
Preferred materials encompass paint, paper, wood, wire, old photographs and found objects. At the same time, my practice involves collecting remnants, sounds using tape recorders, lost images, and pockets of artifacts.
I currently live and work in Los Angeles, California
