Using collage, printmaking, sculpture, film, and installation, David Noonan’s practice draws on an image archive from a wide variety of sources. Noonan seamlessly references theatre, film, design, architecture, dance and music from both eastern and western cultures and references a range of reproduction processes in his work from ancient tapestry and Japanese Boro, to newsprint and digital media.
For each work, images are carefully selected, manipulated and reconstructed through a nonlinear approach that re-presents history as an imagined present.
Noonan’s processes draw from traditional art and craft-making practices as well as contemporary techniques, collapsing numerous techniques into intricate and detailed works, regardless of medium.
