Diane Edison: Trick Mirror

Trick Mirror, a series of works by Dodd Professor and recent retiree, Diane Edison, examines through portraiture the complexities of platonic, professional, and romantic relationships. Each work exists as a time capsule, a memento of the artist’s life. Edison’s portraiture is deeply intimate. Whether rendered in paint or pencil, each piece examines the quiet intimacy that can only arise from years of knowing a person.

Hong Hong: Inland

In Inland, Margie E. West Prize recipient and Dodd alumna, Hong Hong, examines the body as a closed ecological system, where various materials continually interact to sustain and regenerate itself. The large-scale paintings are made from hand-formed paper imbued with fragments from the natural world and Hong’s personal history - invasive plants or soil collected from Leelanau Clay Cliffs, objects preserved by her late grandfather, water from the Atlantic, images of the moon, poems written by Hong and then translated by her mother.
