Rift invokes disparate sources ranging from the physics lab to military projectiles while referencing the art historical tradition of the Rayonists. Viewed in near darkness, Dolson intends Rift to “evoke a high-tech prehistoric cave painting.” Part of a series of such works entitled “Trajectories”, like much of the artists work, it involves mark-making with unusual drawing materials which enforce a limited visual vocabulary.

Dolson is currently an artist in residence at Eyebeam working on his Reenty Series. The series includes research and studies for a synthetic meteor shower and other land art manipulating the urban landscape and night lights of the city.

The opening event is free to the public.
