The Dodd Galleries presents the green glass door, where Lamar Dodd School of Art faculty member Jon Vogt’s Digital Printmaking class visualizes what lies beyond ‘the green glass door’, which is the name of a riddle. Within the riddle, certain items can pass through the green glass door, while other items cannot. The green glass door in this sense acts as a filter or limiter according to a rule. Can a grain of sand pass through the door? How about a coffee pot? The Sanford Football Stadium? The Milky Way? (no, yes, yes, no). While it may be easy to fixate our attention on the limiting nature of the green glass door in this riddle, rarely do we ask what happens to items once they pass through the door.
Through wheat-pasted digital prints, student artists collage collaborative constellations of channeled subconscious states to illuminate our understanding of a site unseen. From an established set of limitations provided by a riddle, new forms blossom and beget new boundaries, building up an elaborate bounty worthy of wonder and exploration. Surely, a new set of rules must apply to the strange realm beyond this threshold. But please don’t linger there too long, for you may never return from the realm beyond the green glass door.
