Daisy Noyes is a photographer based between Melbourne Australia, and Great Barrington, Massachusetts. She uses both 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 interrupting the print itself. Her current practice explores living in a body, trying to look at time, and layering of all types. She is also into working in collaboration or at cross-purposes with her kids.
Daisy studied photography at Sarah Lawrence College in New York and performance at The University of New South Wales in Sydney. She is currently an MFA candidate at Bard’s Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts.
