In intricate mixed-media prints, Dodiya develops an idiosyncratic lexicon of materials and symbols. She addresses colonialism and feminism, juxtaposing images of maps, Victorian behavior manuals, and primitive tools, with a recurring “Oriental” woman’s face, Sylvia Plath quotations, and references to abused female bodies, the whole often linked by swooping silk threads.
