Artist-Sarah Doyle

The nexus treatment, 2008, art, animation, sculpture

Sarah Doyle has created Victorian animation tools shaped as crystals to watch looped hypnotising animations. The hand drawn animations show imitation of movements seen in popular culture. Staring at the animations in the facets of spinning jewelled mirrors created by the artist puts the viewer into an almost dreamlike state. The images from popular media which we know so well from our collective consciousness, revealed in the facets of the jewels are repeated, when cut from their original meaning become obsessive rhythmic movements.

Sarah studied Art at Manchester Metropolitan University and MA Communication Design at Central Saint Martins college of Art in London. She was the winner of the New Artist Category at The Elle Style Awards. Doyle has shown internationally in Japan and the Michael Jackson gallery in Germany. Her animation work was shown at the Whitechapel, Gasworks and The Portman gallery among others. She was part of Splashdown for Space Station Sixty-Five during the Whitstable Biennale 2006 and will be undertaking a commission for Space Station Sixty-Five during 2008.
