Dough showcases artists from across the nation responding to the phenomenon of Dough. The exhibition includes examples of Dough as a source of comfort, community, family traditions, food insecurity, toxins, wealth. The artists represent Dough in the home, in the kitchen, in the body, in the community, and in our memories. Juror Catherine Piccoli shared that she “ was impressed by the way the artists captured these moments in their work using vastly different mediums and forms. Many of the pieces have a playful quality to them, reminding us that putting our hands in dough can lift us during difficult times, especially during this last year and a half when connection was difficult and comfort paramount. “
