Anne Noble

Anne Noble is acclaimed for photographic work that demonstrates formal beauty and critical enquiry. Dead bee portrait #08 is from a series of 15 portraits of dead bees that Noble made in 2015–16 to explore the honeybee and its increasingly unstable, fragile place in our world. Her research was instigated during a Fulbright fellowship when Noble was based at Columbia College in Chicago as an international artist in residence.
