Dodd Galleries continues their online summer programming with Optical Illusion, an exhibition by MFA alumna Zipporah Camille Thompson. 

Zipporah Camille Thompson’s recent works in Optical Illusion juxtapose organic and inorganic materials to connote that which cannot be readily seen. “Clay is malleable and responsive and I appreciate its rapid memory of what I have asked it to do,” explains Thompson.”Intangible and invisible are made visible via textiles and clay, two mediums by which each fingerprint, each memory is imprinted onto the surface and is deeply embedded into the structure.” While clay and textiles reveal the history of their making, the found objects in these works such as insulation, foam, and roofing tile, point to industry and mass consumption.
