Dovetail Magazine features Deborah Kruger’s environmental artwork

Dovetail Magazine features contemporary art that evokes a sense of place.  Since my artwork is a wistful expression of how disappearing habitat affects all species, it seemed like a perfect fit. Kate Mothes writes a poetic introduction to my work that includes the phrase…”maps the nature of disappearance,” she dives right into the heart of my artwork. 

I am always grateful for coverage of my art and art practice. The article in Dovetail includes eight pieces of my environmental artwork and includes examples of some of my map series, pieces whose shape take the form of a map that is relevant to the issues in the piece. For example, the article includes Kansai, a piece shaped as a state in Japan where there are 41 species of endangered birds.
