Window Box: Pamela Dodds – Swimmers
Pamela Dodds’ practice explores the complexities of human relationships, drawing from a lesbian, feminist sensibility that embraces and explores the inter-connectedness of humanity across time and space, with a focus on women and women’s agency as a core perspective. In relief print media of linocut and woodcut, she employs the gesture of the human form, mirrored or counterpointed within an expressive environment, to describe complex and layered moments and encounters. In her recent installations of Undertow – tall scroll-like prints evoking swimmers in the ocean – viewers are encouraged to walk among the prints. For the Window Box Gallery at Gallery 1313 she has created a version of her ocean-inspired woodcut print installations. Pamela Dodds’s work is exhibited regularly in Canada and USA. Reviews include Globe and Mail, Art New England and Boston Globe. Her work resides in collections such as Cleveland Museum of Art, Purdue University, Boston Public Library, Carleton University
