Undertow, Part 1

New Work in Relief Printmaking

Through her practice as a visual artist and printmaker Pamela Dodds explores the complexity of human relationships through a feminist lens. Working primarily though not exclusively in figure-based imagery, she seeks to reflect, mirror, question and challenge norms and assumptions around gender, memory, history, and our relationship with Nature. She is inspired by the interface of personal/political where a personal or intimate act has political significance and consequences. The form and format of the work is inspired also by her continually evolving relationship with the relief print medium itself.

Currently on View at Open Studio Gallery through November 22, Undertow, Part 1 represents part of a body of new work in progress. Undertow combines relief print elements in a long, vertical, scroll-like format. The imprint of natural wood grain evokes a vast and alluring sea in which printed carved figure forms are suspended, describing critical moments of engagement.

Also on view concurrently at Open Studio Gallery: Hazel Eckert: Traces and Annyen Lam: Wayfaring

Gallery Hours: Mon – Sat Noon – 5 pm
