"Writing through the flowers" is a phrase used by one of the letter writers to signal the use of masked messages. Edith Krause has superimposed Siberian wild flowers over images of original letters, photos and prison images. Edith is a printmaker, working out of her home studio and the Malaspina Printmakers studio on Granville Island in Vancouver. She is a graduate of Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Vancouver and currently teaches printmaking at Trinity Western University. Her work has been shown in several national and international group exhibitions. Edith is of Russian Mennonite origin, and both of her grandfathers died in Soviet gulags. This body of artwork is, among other things, a homage to them.
