Exhibitions

		Look Again Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art, Winston-Salem, NC July 16, 2010 - October 10, 2010 With this installation, Dorosz applies similar techniques as in The Painted Room (2009) to create a ghostly stack of furniture that takes on special resonance. Speaking to the memory of materials, The Yellow Pillow draws its inspiration from a silk pillow that survived for decades in the artist's grandmother’s house.

		All Good Things... Mission 17 Gallery, San Francisco CA July 25th-August 1st 2009 Mission 17 Gallery invited a selection of artists who showed there over the five years it was open to participate in the gallery’s closing exhibition. This installation entitled Veneer is a recreation of a Georgian highboy furniture form out of suspended splotches of acrylic paint on monofilament.

		Passing Through Durham Art Gallery, Durham, ON Nov. 2008 - Jan. 2009 The paintings in Passing Through are meant to reflect the tenuous nature of the physical world where any moment life as we know it might just collapse into a pool of droplets or drift upwards into the atmosphere.
