A depth that makes you consider the boundaries. Where you draw the line between the collage and the poem. Are they one-in-the-same, or is there a distinction? Does a line need to exist in the first place? In a few thoughtfully placed words she creates a narrative, touches on an emotion or a memory, and evokes a sense of atmosphere. They can keep you at arms length or pull you in close. Each one is razor sharp in the pairing of their text and imagery. Some have humor, others have a ring of wisdom that read like maxims for the here, now, and gone. The concept of “saying more with less” is exemplified masterfully. Often in fewer than 5 actions, Dorney composes powerful artworks that touch on principles of design, psychology, and language. Limited palettes, bold shapes, complex textures, and intuitive placement make each piece a world unto itself, productive and strong. Their text read as signs of civilization, where one can travel to look for connection and understanding from another.
