Introspection

What might it look like to see the manifestations of your emotional history?

Consider this body of work a visualization and consciously felt experience of the internal world.

Inspired by the Internal Family Systems (IFS) framework, camp aesthetic, and several unique historical and contemporary artists, I offer a body of art that evokes inquisition and indefinity in a way that suggests a kind of magic. Radically creative, this work celebrates and challenges multifarious practices, stop motion animation, sound design, parts work, and symbolism. The use of nonhuman representation emphasizes the sense of liberty and curiosity that can come with existing, unshackled from the identities formed by the external world. This work brings attention to a universal experience that acknowledges all identities–especially the underdogs of past, present, and future.

This installation and coinciding film highlights the process of alignment with one’s whole self through recognizing the complexities of all our internal parts. Perhaps this is the highest form of love we can offer ourselves: looking inward for healing and inevitably reflecting this practice outward to our communities. In this space, I invite you to embrace novelty while immersing yourself in introspection.

May you carry this love with you wherever you go.

Bio

Autumn Noel has explored many kinds of animation, but she is especially devoted to the stop motion pipeline. Whether it is design, fabrication, animation or editing, Noel is always ready to tackle the challenges associated with stop motion. Sound design is also essential to the work Noel does, as its intertwinement with the visual arts builds a more rich work of art, immersing audiences into the imaginative worlds that she creates. With special focus on queerness, whimsy, and psychology, Noel looks forward to keep making work that asks audiences to connect to themselves and the world around them.
