Nolan Noble – Planet #8
$1,000.00
A purple-pink sky streaked with reds and maroons churns above a storm-raked surface. Dots of white flicker like stars caught in wind. A subtle horizon gap appears as the denim dries, adding tension to the dusk-like atmosphere. Grey terrain is swept by mossy greens and pale yellows. The piece conveys restless movement: a world shaped by the storm passing through.

Description
Jeans. Bleach. Cut. Wash. Dry. Wood, nails, hammer. Dryer lint. Acrylic. Becomes… Ocean. Forest. Planets. Mosaic. Passion. Life. Washington. 2024! Echoes. Becoming. Drift. Denim is ordinary, familiar, safe—and easily overlooked. I keep every pair, not from nostalgia but curiosity. When taken apart—seams, pockets, curved leg panels—the fabric reveals its own geography. Bleach uncovers history; paint makes that history new. These works trace transformation: from cloth once worn to color, movement, and emotion. That same transformation lives in us. If we can see how something discarded becomes beautiful again, we can recognize renewal within ourselves—how despair becomes hope, anger becomes movement, and emotion becomes action. My paintings begin with what we throw away and end with what we might still become: the possibility that beauty, and change, are already in what we’ve used and overlooked. Denim begins as something commonplace, but once taken apart it reveals oceans, atmospheres, fracture lines, and futures. The time next you wear jeans, ponder: if the ordinary holds this much possibility, what else are we still capable of remaking: in ourselves, in our communities, in the world we’re trying to inhabit?
