Lori Kenney and Dione Dolan

“Embedded” considers how forms take shape through their surroundings. Using paint and textile, the works reveal presence as something embedded in land, material, and process.

Lori’s practice is rooted in contemporary material-based abstraction. Working with layered compositions of paint, textile and stitch, her practice investigates the relationships between material, memory, and the environment.

Dione’s work is rooted in contemporary realism, focusing on wildlife as embedded in place — where atmosphere, stillness, and environment shape presence as much as form.

While one practice constructs surface through material and process, the other reveals presence through inhabitation of place — offering two distinct but complementary approaches to what it means to be embedded.
