An exercise in virtual site specific art/An art resource/A meeting place for dialogue and interaction/The sporadic and sometimes irrational outpourings of a schizophrenic artbeast
The vast expanse of unmodulated orange paint in this work is both absorbing and disorienting. It is interrupted by a single, narrow band of white running the length of the right-hand edge. This 'zip' generates a tension throughout the canvas between presence and blankness, solidity and fragility. Its verticality also echoes the position of the viewer, helping to fulfil Dorris' concern that 'the onlooker in front of my painting knows that he's there'.
It would seem that Doris is up to her old tricks again. Hiding behind digital abstract expressionism when all she should be doing is dancing along the platform at New St station, slugging on a bottle of gin and lifting her skirts to passers-by.
