Did You Know?

Anne Noggle comes so close to her sitters that the image has a claustrophobic feel for the viewer.

Description

“To look straight into a face and find the pulse of what it is to be human, that is what fuels me,” wrote Noggle. “That is the sum of my mind and my longing. I am always aware of our unceasing engagement with time and space—our ultimate limitations—translated into life and death.”
A horizontally oriented black-and-white photograph depicts a woman and a girl with light skin tones. On our left, the woman with short, textured hair and a zippered jacket looks directly out at the camera. To our right, the freckled girl leans her head on the woman's shoulder. Both look toward us. Behind them, a large tree and dappled light form an out-of-focus background in an outdoor setting.
