Re-envisioning her
paintings as raw
material, Dory deconstructs and reassembles
her canvases. Pieces of painted can- vas are cut, looped, overlaid, and sewn onto colorful climbing ropes. The sculptures, suspended at the end of these lines, are at once structured and organic, appearing familiar yet enigmatic. Similarly, her paintings, worked as collages and bas-reliefs, investigate concepts of fragmentation and reconstruction in new depths.
