Witness in Paint, Clay and Prose
Erica Dornbusch is a low vision artist working across painting, clay, and words. Her practice moves through light, texture, and the felt sense of place—where perception is layered and the edges of things blur. Her work holds, in its presence, a quiet thrum, a shifting atmosphere, and the sense of being held within it. Currently in transition, Erica is preparing for a shift where new work will emerge from a new home and studio beside the Black River, and from a slower, more rooted way of working.
