Artist
Sarah Dolitzky to discuss her work at UVa-Wise Nov. 4
Sarah Dolitzky,
a Boston artist whose work has been displayed at the Metropolitan
Museum
of Art in New York City, will discuss her approach to art
during a Nov. 4 lecture at The University of Virginia’s
College at Wise.
The lecture, which is free and open to the public, begins
at 1 p.m. in the Chapel of All Faiths.
Dolitzky’s work is described as “fourth dimensional,”
because, conceptually and compositionally, it is based on
Einstein’s model of space and time. Time is visualized
as a dimension of space with the light source coming from
a place outside of the phenomenal world. Events ordinarily
experienced as sequential are pictured simultaneously. Movement
is depicted as pattern. Thoughts, myths, and memories have
a presence as tangible as the people generating them.
“When I was very little I found that I could draw. And
that even though my drawings were recognizably the things
and people around me, they were also different, translated
to the world of the picture plane, where other rules prevailed,”
Dolitzky explains. “Drawing became a vehicle that took
me into unknown parts of my imagination. The process of figuration
was a powerful way to bringing that to life.”
One art critic said Dolitzky “has created a model universe
very similar to the one we already inhabit, but one with an
important exception. In this place, what was, what is, and
what will be exist as a singularity – as the forever
present.”
Dolitzky currently lives and works in Boston, where she teaches
art at Newbury College. Examples of Dolitzky’s work
are available at www.sarahdolitzky.com.
