Tallmadge Doyle’s work ranges from the mysterious ocean floor to the distant expanses of the cosmos, examining the commonality of structures across vastly different scales and investigating the inscrutable connections that link all corners of the universe. In this series, Ocean Forest, she highlights the lush kelp forests and intricate plankton communities flourishing in the depths of the sea, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the wonders of the marine world. Doyle’s mastery of traditional painting and printmaking produces ethereal, layered compositions that shimmer with energy and vibrant color.

“My current work explores parallels between marine ecosystems and imagery of vast star formations revealed from the James Webb Telescope,” notes Doyle. “I construct diaphanous, multi-layered surfaces that echo the experience of peering through water or the deep gaseous atmosphere of outer space.”
