ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Spectacle & Sprawl is a series about the cultural design of planned communities. “The Little Houses on the Hillside” are located outside of San Francisco in Daly City. One of the first planned communities to specifically house workers and returning GI’s, the Westlake area featuring architect Doelger’s 1948’s “House of the Moment” was a zeitgeist moment for the American Dream and midcentury modern architecture. NOE painted 100 small 10x10’ paintings on wood panels with an image transfer of Doelger’s house. The conformity of the reproductive image of the house with the differing painting treatments expresses the tension of America’s sprawling efficiency and need for individualism and the artist’s push and pulling of abstraction and representation. The skyscraper, 56 Leonard St, is in Tribeca, NYC. Its cantilevering architecture has given it the nickname the Jenga Building. Here penthouses are investments to bank personal wealth. These glass castles are design-forward and promise community exclusivity. While a beautiful vertical slit in the sky, they are a symptom of the widening wealth gap on the ground. Pulling these two planned communities together tells many stories of American Identity. *Spectacle & Sprawl is a spin-off of American Bones, the artist’s multimedia project exploring cultural narratives that form the bone structure of America’s identity.

Zannah Noe
United States
Zannah Noe is a contemporary mixed-media artist who draws inspiration from architecture and abstraction to depict the anatomy of place. Her creative journey begins with photography, transforming images through multiple processes, including image transfers, stencils, and silkscreen techniques. She masterfully blends representation with abstract expressionism, infusing her oil and acrylic works with photography and mark-making elements. Her work is characterized by lush, vibrant colors that create a dynamic abstract foundation, often enhanced by translucent image transfers. Noe's artwork delves into social injustices related to housing, urban planning, and cultural identities. Drawing from her extensive digital archive of road trips across America and her background in graphic design and photography, she explores the American vernacular and its iconography. Formally trained under renowned photographer Carrie Mae Weems at Hampshire College, Noe also studied multimedia design at San Francisco City College and refined her painting skills with master painter Doug Schneider in San Francisco. Noe's work boldly and chaotically reflects the complexity of place, weaving together design, photography, and politics. Her pieces, with their multilayered metaphors, vibrant colors, and striking abstractions, serve as a testament to the beauty and purpose found in the creative process.
