ABOUT
A statement.
The heavy floral scent of my grandmother’s perfume. The noxious fumes of car exhaust. The hot yeasted steam rolling off of fresh baked bread. We are in constant chemical communication. Living and non-living, human and non-human are bound together by a common molecular materiality. Through an interdisciplinary and multisensory practice, I seek to elucidate the invisible lines that bind us and investigate what implications these chemical markers have for identity, community, and ecology.
A bio.
Dennis Doyle is an interdisciplinary researcher exploring the chemical bodies through scientific and artistic research. Their work has been exhibited in group shows around the countryhave been nationally recognized for their scholarly work, including science publications Nanophotonics and ACS Optics. A Pittsburgh native, they completed a BA in Studio Arts and BS in Chemistry at the University of Pittsburgh. They graduated from CU Boulder in 2023 with a MFA in Sculpture and Post Studio Practice with support from the Beinecke Scholarship. Currently, Doyle is a PhD student in Environmental Chemistry at Carnegie Mellon University in the Sullivan Group, exploring droplet accelerated chemistry to better understand atmospheric reactions and the degradation of chemical pollutants. When not in the studio or lab, they enjoy baking bread, eating bread, and running to burn off the bread.
