The book includes Dougherty‘s last four years of figurative painting beginning in 2021 during the Covid pandemic. A move from studio practice of abstraction to the figure facilitated a comfort zone once deemed unbearable, now enriched with humanity. Plus a conversation between the artist and Alison Gingeras and written contributions from Joe Fyfe, David Rimanelli and John Cheim.
