alex patrick dyck

Alex Patrick Dyck's artistic practice is a tapestry of disciplines, weaving together visual art, poetry, installation, performance, herbalism, and storytelling. Drawing inspiration from nature and their heritage, they explore themes of diaspora, memory, queer identity, and the interconnectedness of the natural world. They see art-making as a devotional act before the divine, imbued with the interlocking arms of desire and grief.

Holding a BFA from Pratt Institute, Alex has exhibited, appeared in print and performed internationally. They are the recipient of the CREATE Council on the Arts Catalyst Grant, Spark of Hudson Artist Fellowship and Basilica Hudson Artist Residency, which have supported solo exhibitions and community-based projects. Additionally, they have collaborated with international and local artists on residency/exhibition projects in Tokyo, New York, Ohio and Montreal.

They have self-published two books of poems, with their third "Butterflies Come Out At Night," published by 1080 Press, slated for spring 2024. Currently they are spearheading a new project, Pollywog Press, focused on showcasing works by fellow QT/BIPOC artists. Alex lives and works in New York’s Hudson Valley on occupied Munsee-Lenape & Mohican land.
