When this baby hits eighty-eight… is an exhibition of unique-state print works that incorporate etching, woodblock, collagraph and décollage techniques along with neon and other sculptural components. As part of an ongoing interrogation of the tradition of printmaking, the work, claiming a ‘grunge’ aesthetic, utilizes lowbrow materials and ad-hoc methods to make explicit a contingent surface and revere institutional faux pas.

Drawing on geometric abstraction and visual attributes from the press material of Robert Zemeckis’ 1985 film, Back to the Future, Dolman uses the futurities of the past to make comment on the derivative nature of novelty and the ironic derogation of retro.
