TOMORY DODGE – DIRECTIONS TO A DIRTY PLACE
2013-04-08Paint can be both the image and the “stuff” of structure, moving between representation of place, and place itself. The work of Denver-born, Los Angeles-based artist Tomory Dodge and Trinidad-born, New York-based artist Denyse Thomasos slide between these poles in highly evocative ways. While much of Dodge’s imagery is drawn from things observed during excursions into the California desert, much is left to fantasy as his maps move between geography and cosmology. Thomasos creates architecture with, and through paint – spanning multiple scales to suggest the blueprints of places half-real, half-imagined.
