Lorraine is a mixed media artist living in Sidney who has exhibited in juried calligraphy and book exhibitions across Canada and in Japan. One of her books "Cold Alphabets" was chosen for the Berlin Calligraphy Archive which houses pieces from international calligraphers who work experimentally. Many of her works have been chosen for the prestigious annual Letter Arts Review issues which feature fine calligraphy from around the world.
StatementMy book works explore visual language in reinterpreting literature through drawing, layering, obliteration and fading of text and image. My writing hands are experimental as I search for a new way of representing myth and poetry. "Smoke" is from a series on the myth of Eurydice in which "she disappeared like smoke into thin air." "Earth Light" is based on the poem "Genesis" by Lorna Crozier which explores what is underneath all living things.
