Dorothy Simpson Krause "Visions"
571 Projects
This event has ended.
571 Projects presents an exhibition of new work by accomplished artist, Dorothy Simpson Kruase. Krause is a painter, collage artist and printmaker who incorporates digital mixed media into her art.
Her new body of work, 'Visions', relates to Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem "Kubla Kahn or, A Vision in a Dream, A Fragment", composed in 1797 after an opium influenced dream. Coleridge's vision is of a savage place, with holy and enchanted caverns, walls, towers and a sacred river where "The shadow of the dome of pleasure floated midway on the waves". These haunting images of submerged architectural passageways, lit from within, reflect the branches of trees and illuminate floating leaves and flowers. A beautiful destruction.
