Did you notice trees outside the 19th Avenue parking ramp today? How about the video monitors as you walked the halls to class or to your office? How about the new art in the Executive Development Center?
Bridget Doyle hopes you noticed all three. She wants to direct our attention to those often unseen things—the signs, the telephone poles, the Dumpsters—that occupy the space between our starting points and our destinations. These things are part of our experience of the world around us.
And that’s what “Dirt” in the EDC is all about. A collection of ten prints, “Dirt” is the work of Doyle, a second-year MFA student studying printmaking at the University. The collection was chosen by curators at the Katherine E. Nash Gallery for display in the EDC, which serves as an alternative gallery space. It will be there through May.
