The Dodd Galleries will host the grand opening of five new exhibitions in conjunction with graduate open studios. On view in the Bridge Gallery, “Expression of the Superorganism” by art education PhD student Jiayi “Eva” Guo and entomology postdoctoral fellow Haolin “Horace” Zeng is a blend of both nature and experimental artistic concepts. The duo imported red fire ants to create art by sculpting clay with their nest building instincts and walking in lines through acrylic paint to create beautiful patterns. Eliza Bentz showcases “To Wander a Well Worn Path” in the Lupin Foundation Gallery, which demonstrates her experimental weaving techniques and pieces. She focuses on the journey of one line. In the Margie E. West Gallery, Ansley West Rivers has her collection “Holding Time,” which includes three bodies of landscape photography. In the Suite Gallery, “Spirit Duplicator” is an exhibition of art by Sarah LaPonte, Gabriel Slavitt and Dylan Lewis, whose works encompass both desire and loss through photographs and ink drawings. Finally, Katheryn Réfi displays her woven chain-linked “Wall Work” in the Plaza Gallery.
