Dornith Doherty was born in Houston, Texas and currently works and resides in Southlake. After receiving her BA from Rice University, she received her MFA from Yale University. Doherty is currently a Research Professor at the University of North Texas, where she has worked since 1996. She has been awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship, grants from the Fulbright Foundation and the United States Department of the Interior as well as many others. She was awarded the Honored Educator Award and the Texas State Artist 2D from the Texas Legislature in 2016.
Doherty's work is a landscape and still life hybrid. She finds objects that represent an area and uses those objects to create miniature landscapes. Doherty is interested in nature and how humans affect the world around them, creating work in national parks and nature preserves, as well as other countries -- Japan, Costa Rica, Scotland and Iceland.
Constructed Landscapes, 1997-2001, is the first project on her website and addresses her fascinated with the tension between the wilderness and it's manipulation by humans.
Temporal Screens, 2003-2005, is similar to Constructed Landscapes, however, this project uses the Japanese landscape, focusing on the relationship between humans and their time spent in nature.
In Altered Terrian, 2007, Doherty once again, investigates the natural world, while also commenting on critical contemporary issues that affect that landscape.
good photos. Is there no collage type work about seedbanks? No analysis effectiveness and what you think in terms of your own photographs.
