About the artist

Rochelle Voyles (b. 1989, Toledo, Ohio) is a Brooklyn based multi-disciplinary artist whose works explore the cyclical nature of humanity’s patterns and the underlying impulses that drive behavior. Mining historical textile diagrams and found images, Voyles arranges fragments of different moments meticulously in collage on-wood cut sculpture. She dislocates, interrupts, and re-purposes found images in order to decontextualize her experience of reality and decipher our collective relationship to photographs.

She received her BFA in Fine Arts/Printmaking from Pratt Institute. She was a resident artist at the Wassaic Project, The Peter Bullough Foundation, the Byrdcliffe Arts Colony and the ChaNorth Residency.
