artist statement

How does a woman develop her sense of subjectivity and identity? Fiori’s work is a response to this question and investigates gender roles and themes of beauty, sexuality, body image, and anxiety.

Fiori is an interdisciplinary artist who now works primarily with hand-cut and digital collage. She was born in Medway, Massachusetts to a predominantly female family where her interest in subjectivity, identity, and feminism first began. She is currently a faculty member teaching visual art at Medway High School.

Her practice began in Graduate school when she acquired her Masters in Fine Art from The Art Institute of Boston through Lesley University. For her thesis through collage, Noelle explored how the products women use, and the expectations they communicate, negatively impact how women view and construct their own identities. Inspired by Wangechi Mutu and Matha Rosler, she seeks to dismantle, and redefine these images from the mass media using collage.
