‘Thaw’

Blane De St. Croix’s piece “Everglade Forest Fires� is one of a few standouts at the Dorsky Gallery’s “Thaw� exhibit. PHOTO BY TESS MCRAE The cave in the background is lit beautifully but the letters get in the way of it. While “Thaw� may not go as deep as it could have, the exhibit is worth a visit for the works of Neuhaus, Biggs, De St. Croix and

Jordan which utilize the environment they surrounded themselves with for an extended period of time in such a way that the art they have produced needs little to no explanation. Q They stand well on their own.
