Spirit Duplicator

Spirit Duplicator is an exhibition of three artists whose work conjures specters of desire and loss. The contained ghosts operate ambiguously between trace and premonition, their dissolution conjuring the potential of reanimation. Sarah LaPonte, Gabriel Slavitt, and Dylan Lewis meet in these considerations, pulling phantoms from weather phenomena, folklore, and rural landscapes. In the spirit of impermanence, the exhibited works center on paper-based media, including zines, photographs, drawings, and printed ephemera.

Eliza Bentz: To Wander a Well Worn Path

To Wander a Well Worn Path presents the act of weaving, a millennia-old tradition rooted in survival and functionality, in relation to contemporary abstraction and mixed media practices. Dodd MFA candidate Eliza Bentz investigates the integrity and aesthetic of weaving, tracing and in some cases magnifying, the journey of a line as it emerges into an intertwined network. The resulting works are an assemblage of ceramic and fiber sculptures, activating both the vertical and horizontal plane as organic vessels and meandering wall works.
