Amnesia (2011 excerpt from gallery catalog)
Mario Naves
Dodson’s meditations on memory, loss and transience are rendered with exquisite attention to detail,
bringing sweeping concentration to her silky elisions of space and incident. Textures are given uncanny
clarity, and the palette, while keyed to black, is punctuated by saturated and, at times livid tones. She
seamlessly melds immaculate artifice and unapologetic romanticism, crystalline execution and unruly states
of feeling. Her atmospheric runs of lush color, mysterious slurs of space and subdued, if decidedly pointed,
expressionism share common ground less with say, Robert Frank than Odilon Redon.
Within Dodson's oeuvre, painting, photography and high tech achieve an uncommon tête-à-tête that is, at
once, here-and-now and back to the future. These luminous dreamscapes evince a distinctive and deeply
humane vision.
