Dodd creates contemporary visual artwork examining distinctive composition blended with a maximized color theory set to data driven patterning, mathematics and time executed to verify environmental awareness. Themed visuals weave through color filled constructions with rigid, measured definitions of space that embrace a highly developed use of method and unique compositional balance culminating to amplify today's contemporary landscapes in crisis. Creating a recognizable contemporary style, Dodd's work is bursting with rhythmic and thematic technical visuals that document multiple moments into vivid complex visions. Inspired by research about environmental conditions and scientifically collected data, charts and graphs Dodd explores art as social response awareness and habitat defender. These engaging works are executed as a true art experience for the viewer telling a visual story with purpose and unexpected movement that deeply invites the audience to look passionately into contemporary fine art spirited by the environmental concerns.
