Marie Yoho Dorsey Exhibition
Asian American Arts Centre
This event has ended.
Marie Yoho Dorsey is an artist well trained for four years in the Japanese art of Ikebana. This has turned her skilled mind to the art of painting, the process of direct gravure, collage and installation to create delicate and masterful renderings on fabric. Her mystical journeys through landscapes and clouds capture the precious and ephemeral, despite the noise of the cities of New York and Florida where she lives.
Ikebana, as connected with Confucian practices of self-cultivation, is comprised of very traditional symbolism. Each flower and arrangement has specific meaning. Ikebana and and handicraft materials are historically identified with women's work. However, pushing beyond traditional symbolism and developing meaningful concepts that investigate new impressions in contemporary thought is her challenge.
