photographer, printmaker & media artist
Pat Doyen makes, preserves, programs and writes about films, photography and other media arts. By day she is a film archivist with an enthusiasm for home movies and orphan films. Her work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally and she has taught hand processing and filmmaking workshops for both children and adults. She is a contributor to “The DIY Guide to Film & Video” published by Parcell Press and editor of the book “Hell Yeah! Heavy Metal Parking Lot @ 30”.
Her practice spans photography, photogravure, and film/video, with these disciplines often converging in her work. A key principle is the juxtaposition of obsolete and emerging technologies, influenced by her training as a film archivist, which has installed in her a profound appreciation of forgotten or discarded materials.
