C. La Dolce is an interdisciplinary artist and educator originally from the Northeast Kingdom region of Vermont and currently based in Athens, Georgia. Through material interaction and transformation, their work explores the themes of toxicity, relationality, illness, ritual, and time.

C utilizes installation methods and material investigation to research the entanglement between humans, non-humans, and non-living matter. La Dolce’s work is deeply informed by their experience of growing up in a rural town under a “do not drink” order, a public health directive issued when ground water is too contaminated for boiling to purify.

La Dolce has completed residencies at the Vermont Studio Center, 77 Art, and Watershed Ceramics, and exhibited nationally, including exhibitions at Burlington City Arts, Athens Institute for Contemporary Art, and the Arrowmont School Gallery. Their photographic research of pollution in the Tennessee River and its connecting water bodies was published in What Makes A Lake, the 2023 publication by Artist Field.
