Check out the latest episode of Outside of New York as @craiggouldart sits down with @dornithdoherty. Dornith Doherty is an artist whose work stimulates conversations around the world’s ever-changing ecology. A native of Houston, she obtained her BFA from @riceuniversity and her MFA in Photography from @yaleschoolofart . She currently resides in Southlake, Texas and is Distinguished Research Professor at @unt , where she has been on the faculty since 1996. Dornith is a 2012 Guggenheim Fellow and has received grants from the @the_fulbright_program , @thejapanfoundation , and the United States Department of the Interior, among many others. In addition, she was recognized by the Texas State Legislature as the 2016 Texas State Artist for 2D work. Doherty’s work has been exhibited extensively domestically and abroad and can be found in the permanent collections of prominent institutions such as @theamoncarter , @crystalbridgesmuseum , and @mfahouston . Her project entitled “Archiving Eden” looked at the infrastructure around the preservation of the world’s plant life through the utilization of seed banks, as well as looking at the inner beauty of the seeds themselves. That work drew the attention of major media outlets and resulted in a host of artist talks around the world, including TEDx Monterey. Craig recently sat down with Dornith at her current show @hollyjohnsongallery in Dallas where they discussed growing up in Houston, the rigors of the Yale MFA, man’s impact on the environment, photographing the world seed bank vault in the arctic, backyard coyotes and the future of the banana. #art #artist #archivingeden #seedbank #coyotes #triggered #deluge #flood #ecology #environment #photography #photographer #hydrograph #svaalbard #dornithdoherty #unt #dallas #dallasartist #dallasart #texas #texasart #texasartist #texasstateartist #rice #yale #yalemfa https://www.instagram.com/p/BpVHn31n8St/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qcc72yy8v6bd
