Aurora NY: Dorothy Simpson Krause, 2011. A unique and unusual book by this noted book artist. 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." This work was created as a sculptural book, of which the title offers many definitions that are embodied in the sculptural structure. The book is in fact shaped of the metal lead. It is collaged on both sides and although it is malleable, it is designed to stand on its own. An interesting work in very good condition. Measures 2 5/8 x 12 inches. ARTB/011824. Very Good.
