What Lies Within:The Eclectic Collections of Andrea M. Noel
Who doesn't collect something? What causes that urge? Maybe to relive and preserve our
childhood or revisit a memory and keep the past living in our present. These collections also
help ease our insecurities and anxieties from loss. This series is a photographic collection of things
of little concern to most people, but the way they are meticulously cared for and displayed gives
them a new life, a new meaning, in the form of visual storytelling.
What began as a project documenting Andrea's 60 categories of collections, transformed
into a photographic journey that revealed discarded objects beautifully arranged in artful
designs. The experience of working with these collections has been transformative, as I reframed
the ordinary into the extraordinary. Her collections are an archive of what came before, reborn
as an entertaining, ever-changing story.
This is a story worth telling and I am privileged to share it.
