Noelle Tan is a photography-based artist who lives and works in Washington, DC.
Artist BioNoelle Tan creates a series of black and white landscape photographs of desert areas in Nevada, Utah and Arizona; she processes them using an experimental technique that leads to allusive, rather than realistic images. Largely consisting of a blank white space dotted with animals, vegetation and other ubiquitous markers of terrain, Tan’s work asks the viewer to connect shadows and hints of images to a perceived narrative or event.
