Fort Lauderdale: Dorothy Simpson Krause, 2016. Dorothy Krause is a painter, collage artist and printmaker who incorporates digital mixed media into her art. Her work is exhibited regularly in galleries and museums and featured in numerous current periodicals and books. In her artist's statement she says: "My work includes large scale mixed media pieces, artist books and book-like objects that bridge between these two forms. It embeds archetypal symbols and fragments of image and text in multiple layers of texture and meaning. It combines the humblest of materials, plaster, tar, wax and pigment, with the latest in technology to evoke the past and herald the future. My art-making is an integrated mode of inquiry that links concept and media in an ongoing dialogue – a visible means of exploring meaning." In this exuberant little book, Krause uses colorful images of quilts. She describes the book as being created using collage on wood with a metal hinge. In fine condition. Measures 4.25 x 2.5 x 2 inches. Unpaginated [2 pages]. ARTB/011524. More
