WORK ON PAPER
Kathy Strauss’ most recent work on paper focuses primarily on monoprints of images from space along with calculus and other mathematical calculations that are related to the printed images. In many of these calculations, Strauss formulates her own problem and solves it; in others she explores the work of pioneers such as Henrietta Swan Leavitt and Edwin Hubble and presents their work and solves related problems under her printed images.

Previous work presents images of trees. Some drawings explore the revelation of tree roots after Hurricane Isabel sent a storm surge over the terrain at the Patapsco State Park in Maryland. Other drawings are of local trees that are of historical interest and that explore family and historical roots.
