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 is a contemporary mixed-media artist. She takes her cues from architecture, abstraction and atmosphere to depict the anatomy of place. She migrates images through multiple processes, starting with photography and utilizing image transfers, stencils or a silkscreen. She employs representation and abstract expressionism while fusing photography and mark-making elements with more traditional techniques in her oil and acrylic works. Her work has gorgeous, lush colors that make a vibrant abstract foundation that often comes through translucent image transfers. Her artwork focuses on larger social injustices of housing, urban planning and cultural identities. Inspiration is often pulled from her digital archive of many road trips across America, along with her influences from graphic design and photography. The work explores the American vernacular and its iconography. Ms. Noe formally studied photography under the well-known photographer Carrie Mae Weems at Hampshire College. She then took courses in multimedia design at San Francisco City College. She later studied privately with master painter Doug Schneider in San Francisco. She uses her design, photography and politics in her artwork to find the beauty and purpose that leverages this creative process to become the framework of her artwork. With its multilayered metaphors, vibrant colors and bold abstractions, Noe’s works are a daring, chaotic reflection of the complexity of the identity of place.
