In Shape Shifting Dodd MFA alum Joe Camoosa uses images from his favorite sketchbook to present a celebratory take on an ever-present specter of modernity, the grid. Originally created on a scale of 2”x2”, Camoosa scales up each sketch, monumentalizing his abstract experiments in color, shape, and composition. Art historian and theorist Rosalind Krauss defined the grid as existing in realm of both the temporal and spatial. Camoosa bridges this divide by channeling the freedom and lightheartedness of a sketch and transferring this brevity onto the plane of a large-scale mural. Together these compositions create a repetitive rhythm. Within this grid each image breathes in tandem.
