Jeanette Doyle's practice is generally concerned with picture making and the problem of producing compelling images in an image-saturated culture. The work also seeks to investigate our misrecognition of ourselves in the lives of others and the inevitable complexity of shared narratives.

Looking at the glass of the mirror and the glass of the lens, Doyle frequently references the window of Alberti and the Windows of the Desktop - this reflects a critical interest in the effect that the evolution of lens based technologies has had on image production and particularly on the painted image.

Parallel tangents are crucial to the on-going development of the work as is a suspicion of coherence. This suspicion is made manifest by the adoption of numerous tools, strategies and stances and also in the use of synchronous modes of representation which both re-enforce and refute each other.
