Elizabeth Dorbad is a sculptor, installation artist and curator based out of Oakland, California. She serves as an artist-in-residence and exhibits internationally. Notable locations have included the Los Angeles Craft and Folk Art Museum, Artline Berlin, and the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Museo de Larazaro Cardenas. Dorbad recently received an MFA from the California College of the Arts where she was nominated for both the Joan Mitchell and Dedalus Foundation grants in sculpture. Her work deals with expanded notions of theater, architecture and contemporary wilderness. She is influenced by etymology, itinerancy, Hollywood and open spaces. Current works include: Stay Away, Come Closer, a piece that examines the line dividing human and animal; Itinerant Architectures, a series of sculpture, photographs and interventions addressing structures that are mobile or in a transient state of decay; and Occult Land: Glamour Terroir, an installation that casts severe storms as super-natural wilderness systems. She is represented by Unspeakable Projects in San Francisco.
