Noah S. Thompson is a New England-based image maker and storyteller whose practice involves investigating the meanings and markers human individuals, cultures, and mythologies give to the natural world and how those artifacts and narratives reverberate through memories. These inquiries are motivated by a sensation of wonder, transforming the taken-for-granted natural world through photography and other media to offer humbling moments of reflection, remembering, and imagining. Their work is thus often quiet, even ghostly, blending the organic and human-made, the unknown and unknowable, calling for consideration regarding the ways in which we interact with and understand our surroundings.
Raised between Oregon and New Mexico, Noah received their BA from Dickinson College before pursuing a career in museum education. Noah is currently an MFA candidate at the University of Connecticut. They have exhibited in a variety of venues including the Rhode Island Center for Photographic Arts (Providence), birds + Richard Gallery (Berlin), and the Da Vinci Art Alliance (Philadelphia). Their work is in the collections of Dickinson College and the MINI Museum of Philadelphia. Noah is also a recent recipient of the Ford/Knauth Fellowship for LGBTQIA+ Artists at the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild.
Open your mind, be brave, and be kind.
