A quick introduction to Dorothy Cross.

A quick introduction to Dorothy Cross.
by Daniela Ortiz

Dorothy Cross was born in Cork, Ireland. Most of her work 
is a mixture of media , photography, sculptures and videos. 
Dorothy came to the public attention in the 90s with her 
nature sculptures and installations. But she is best known 
for her public installation "The Ghost Ship". In her 
presentation she mainly talks about her exhibition "Sapiens"
which is in Dublin, Ireland. Her work is inspired by her visit 
to Melanin Island of New Ireland in the South Pacific. 
Where she spent time in the remote villages on the west coast
of the island, interacting with the shark callers. In her 
presentation she explains that her art comes from the nature 
of humans and animals. She uses objects that are used by 
humans and reassembles them using nature (animals) so 
that the meaning of her pieces is more visible to her audience.
Some of the most interesting objects she uses are dead 
animals, skulls and broken down objects from everyday life. 
She also explains that she could never be a painter , that 
her passion is using things that already exist to maker her on work.
She is fascinated by the history of the object that she finds.
Her photography is very interesting because she finds interest 
in the nature of animals interacting with humans.
She goes around the world taking pictures of unexpected things.
Over all her exhibitions have to be seen completely to understand 
what she id trying to portray.
