Grease Trap
This painting makes the everyday grease trap appear surreal with the extreme flatness of its composition. Noel regularly explores domestic items in her practice, elevating commonplace elements by placing them in settings that are difficult to recognize. The compact nature of her panels helps viewers explore the relationship between themselves and handheld objects.
