In Unreliable Narrators, Rochelle Voyles explores the cyclical nature of humanity’s patterns and the underlying impulses that drive behavior. Mining historical textile diagrams and vintage magazines, Voyles arranges fragments of different moments and settings, people, objects, and places meticulously in collage on-wood cut sculpture. Layering and abstracting time, the work reveals and challenges the social narratives embedded in found images, exposing how history and collective memory are constructed and repeated.

Rochelle Voyles (b. 1989, Toledo, Ohio) is a Brooklyn based multi-disciplinary artist whose practice oscillates between working in traditional collaged works on paper and large scale sculptures. She received her BFA in Fine Arts/Printmaking from Pratt Institute in 2012. She is an upcoming resident of the Wassaic Project, and was a resident at The Peter Bullough Foundation, the Byrdcliffe Arts Colony and the ChaNorth Residency. She has shown at galleries in New York such as Below Grand, 81 Leonard Gallery, Trestle Gallery, Peninsula Art Space, Field of Play Gallery, and Collarworks. Voyles has been published in blogs and online such as Collé, Shoutout LA, Paradice Palase, and The Jealous Curator. Her recent shows include “Departures” at 81 Leonard Gallery, “Campfire Songs” curated by Wesley Ware at Field of Play Gallery, and “Channels”, curated by Marco Tulio de la Sierra at Below Grand Gallery.
