THE RAGDOLLS THAT East Vancouver photographer Laura Noonan portrays in her new exhibition, Bordolle, aren’t old, forgotten toys. In the artists’ eyes, they symbolize innocence, constancy, and uniformity. More broadly, they help make up the show’s themes of female representation and empowerment.
A self-taught artist and curator from Cork, Ireland, who works mainly with lens-based fine art and acyrlics, Noonan is co-founder of the Vancouver photography collective Meet Me at the Lamp(p)ost with Tara Mary Paget. MMATLP celebrates the present moment through place-specific street photoraphy
