A Fly’s Perspective of Loss by Stephen Doyle

The work reflects on the artist’s exploration of their emotional psyche under the guidance of a psychoanalytic therapist over the span of a year to resolve issues of separation, belonging and connection. The personification of clothing is a tool designed within their therapy sessions to distance the artist’s self from the issues they are dealing with in the hope to gain valuable insight.

This body of work departs from Doyle’s usual motif of the figure. Avoiding representational methods of self portraiture, they embrace a different approach that incorporates text and an intimate scale to capture moments of self reflection.
