​Alex Patrick Dyck is a multimedia poet, splosh artist, frog man & medicine maker; a romantic hoarder of sentimental trash and trampled roses, an altar builder, memory gatherer, a seeker seeking. They work with the interaction of plants, dye, resin, textiles, bodily fluids, text & chains as a way to explore the life-death-life cycle of the natural world. The subjective nature of interacting with the written word establishes intimacy but also exemplifies that language, and the ways we experience and interpret through it, is not identic to understanding. The works they make are constantly decaying and changing in texture and color, a reminder that all things change; "god is change."* By working towards living in fluid reciprocity they seek to reconnect with the ways their ancestors lived upon the earth.

​Alex has self-published two books of poems, curated 12 immersive exhibitions and shown in NYC, California, Miami, Maine, Olympia, India and Tokyo. Their work has been featured in print by Commune Press, Cixous72, Bushwick Daily, Sex Magazine, Ginger Zine, Dark Chart House of Production, Smalls Fires Press & Heads Magazine. They hold a BFA from Pratt Institute and have graduated from Wild Gather: Seeds of Herbalism, Ninunong Gamot: Philippine Ancestral Medicine & currently attend The People's Medicine School. They live, work and grow in Upstate New York on occupied Mohican land.
