The Art of Playing with Knowledge: Works by Angela Lorenz

Lorenz's work centers on material culture, visual culture and language. Frequent topics include archaeology, architecture, textiles and literature. Frequent processes in her works include watercolor painting, photography, printmaking, papermaking, letterpress, felting, sewing and paper engineering.
