Dorothy Cross

Working with differing media, including sculpture, photography, video and installation, she represented Ireland at the 1993 Venice Biennale.

Central to her work as a whole are themes of sexual and cultural identity, personal history, memory, and the gaps between the conscious and subconscious.
