In her paintings, Dory employs a com- plex process of layering paint and color. She creates vibrantly fractured geometric paintings inspired by politically gerry- mandered maps, in which the major-
ity party re-draws voting districts in an intensely surgical way to favor their party. Some of the shapes are lifted directly from maps; others are created by Dory herself as she considers the separation of territories and the resulting abstractions in the world. The large-scale paintings provide balance to the smaller, more do- mestic scale of the sculptural pieces.
