About this artwork
These images, related to a trip made by Krause to Australia and New Zealand, pay homage to the historically unbroken, intimate knowledge of the land that marries people to place in ownership. They reference our communal journey and reinforce our unity with the world in which we live.
In Australia, the concept of Songlines is to “sing the place”, to recreate and remember the literal or figurative landscape in song. As with words and music, rendering… a location visually is the equivalent of a map of experience, creating a sense of place from the components of memory.
Using gridded surfaces, paintings, photographs and collaged ephemera, this 16″ x 16″ series abstracts important events and places that are part of Krause's personal geography.

« My work embeds archetypal symbols and fragments of image and text in multiple layers of texture and meaning. »
Dorothy Simpson Krause is a painter, collage artist and print maker who incorporates digital mixed media into her art.

It combines humblest materials such as plaster, tar, wax and pigment, with the latest in technology in order to evoke the past and while simultaneously heralding the future. Krause is the author of "Book + Art: Handcrafting Artists’ Books", published in 2009.
