Dorothy Cross was born in Cork, Ireland, in 1956. Her work ranges from object to opera: working with sculpture, photography and video.
The works move from gallery and museum to external projects that may take years to make and may only exist for a short time – most recently Kinship where a 2000 year old Egyptian mummified body of a man that had been in Cork for 100 years was returned to Cairo.
Exhibitions include: ‘Veins of Other’, Kerlin Gallery,Dublin ‘Damascus Rose’, Frith Street Gallery, London. She has represented Ireland in the Venice, Istanbul, Liverpool and most recently Sydney Biennial.
