the way they move through air

‘the way they move through air’ by artist Chloe Noble brings together painting, digital art, poetry, and journal entries to explore birds as both subject and symbol. The exhibition reflects on the quiet act of watching - the slow, attentive process of noticing patterns, behaviours, and moments of connection. The beauty found in repetition, ritual, and the small details we often overlook is central to this exploration.

Sound design by Keira Simmons accompanies the works, deepening the reflective atmosphere and creating a sensory space for audiences to engage gently - with the artworks, their surroundings, and their own memories of place.

Birds appear throughout the work not just as natural forms, but as representations of emotional resilience, observation, and care. This exhibition invites audiences to engage gently - with the works, with their surroundings, and with their own memories of place.

‘the way they move through air’ is, at its heart, a love letter - to birds, to paying attention, and to the neurodivergent way of moving through the world.

This exhibition is supported by the City of Norwood, Payneham & St Peters, CreateSA, and Access2Arts, and is presented as part of Nature Festival.
