‘AutoAbstraction- An Autotheoretical Analysis of a Post-Feminist Painters Praxis', Dominique’s PhD thesis project, 2021-2026, is motivated by her research in phenomenology, feminist aesthetics, color theories, autotheory, and abstract painting. The title is intended as a philosophical, theoretical, and stylistic reference to Dominique's post post-minimal (identity-based, body-centric), post-feminist (gender fluid & inclusive), and art historically informed research. The color palette is influenced by her own olive skin, the Fitzpatrick Skin Type Scale (aka SPF and emoji skin tone charts), a Pantone SkinTone Guide), beauty industry product promotional color charts, and pre-mixed or out-of-the-tube paint colors. Largely due to the skin tone references, many of the works readily lend themselves to psychosexual and/or abstracted figurative interpretations.
