Jesse D. Hoyle is an interdisciplinary artist and art sector worker. They received their BFA in Photo/Design from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in 2011 and their MFA in Photo/Film from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2024. They work in the intersections of lens based medias, and explore philosophical concepts of memory and truth and their malleable natures. They create work based in the photographic still and moving image, in film and digital form, and incorporating alternative and experimental processes.
Raised in rural North Carolina, the traditions of oral histories, cultural and sovereign knowledge, and its multiplicity, memory, identity, queerness and place are the basis for most of their work.
Hoyle has worked as Programs Curator of Elsewhere Museum, managing all public and internal programming as well as overseeing the residency programs. They have also worked for artist Sylvain Couzinet-Jacques during the creation of his Eden project with Aperture Publishing and Fondation d'entreprise Hermès, and for the Weatherspoon Art Museum as Curatorial Assistant. They have shown work at a variety of community galleries in Greensboro, NC, Richmond, VA, various colleges, independent pop-up exhibitions and at Aperture Foundation, in New York.
