Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Suzanne Dollois

It’s rare to find a young photographer these days who shoots on real film. Suzanne Dollois, who graduated from the California Institute of the Arts in 2008, works primarily in 35mm film on the old Nikon FM2 she inherited from her godmother in high school in Montgomery, Vt. Dollois documents her environment, focusing on architecture, modes of transportation and deterioration. She uses the resulting photographs to construct handcut collages, often full of surreal juxtapositions, such as the crowded and dusty interior of a dairy barn framed by a fringe of fresh green vines. Her show “Assembled Landscapes” is at Brickels Gallery in Burlington through February 28. Pictured: “Bovine Doorway.”
