Photographer, curator, and professor Van Deren
Coke was a founding member of the Art Department at the University of New
Mexico and one of Noggle’s teachers as well as her adviser. Here she disguises
herself as Coke, which she says was “a lot of fun,” imitating and perhaps
teasing her mentor. “What is consistent, and, I do believe, unique about her
pictures is their humanism combined with her frankness about aging,” Coke wrote
in the introduction to “Silver Lining” (1983), a book of Noggle’s photographs.
