Description
Dorothy Cross: Site-Specific Works This comprehensive study of Irish artist Dorothy Cross's site-specific art is the first book-length examination of her work. With full-color photographs, Cross's own account of the construction process, and detailed analysis by scholar Robin Lydenberg, this exhibition catalog captures the ephemeral quality of Cross's installations. Cross's goal is not to create a fixed monument but to collaborate with and transform each site, inviting viewers to encounter her work on both physical and psychic levels. The book explores three major themes in Cross's work: the return of the repressed, the impossibility of desire, and the inevitability of loss. With its unique blend of artistic analysis and philosophical insight, this catalog will be of interest to artists and art historians alike.
