A Little Bit About The Artist

A Statement From The Artist

Born in Bath, UK, Millie Noble (she/her) is a 24 year old Fine Artist and Professional Fangirl.
Her practice specialises in craft based mediums and working with obsessive tendencies. Her practice often focuses on the impact of fan cultures, girlhood and community based research.
With a diagnosis of AuDHD, neurodivergence impacts Millie’s working practice - the work is created through obsessive processes, often hyperfixating on particular topics.
Millie uses self published zines and other resources that are distributed through fan communities as part of her practice, as well as writing for magazines and blogs, and using more traditional practices such as painting.
Millie is based in Brighton, UK.

Tell us about a dream you've had.

Sometimes I dream of extravagance or otherworldly life. Sometimes I dream of fun and friendship.
I always dream about domestic life.
About love and kindness in everyday situations. Sunlight pouring through the cracks in the blinds. The warmth of a quilted blanket full of memories. The embrace of the community around me. Existence as true as it can be.

What's your favourite movie or tv show?

Twilight - has been since I first saw it at 12 years old!

What is your biggest influence on your practice?

Community influences the way I create. To live, to love, and to learn requires the existence of community driven practice.
Fan cultures provide a way of accessing this community. Fandom power is repeatedly undermined, when truly it shapes us and our human condition, and the way we live in our communities.
Fandom, to me, is the most important part of my life. It teaches me to be true to who I am and explore my consciousness, my nostalgia and my girlhood. It is so important to preserve fandom history as a record of human experience, which i strive to do in my community driven practice.
