Thomas Doyle creates beauty from chaos. From overturned houses to overturned lives, there are powerful narratives in his work that bely the tiny scale of the pieces he creates. We have been looking at his work and discussing it all morning, trying to put our fingers on why we are so captivated by it. Make no mistake, Doyle’s work is strangely thought provoking and the scenes he creates are somehow familiar. The pieces are remnants, ghosts of a collective history, once perhaps even idyllic but now, as Nikki describes them “like something out of Fringe.” Doyle likes to think of his work as memories, that we are somehow not quite able to reach “in much the way the mind recalls events through the fog of time, the works distort reality through a warped and dreamlike lens.” What do you think? Does this work resonate with you, and if so, why?
