About Ellen
My interest, in both my work of clay and paper, is in layering and collaging. They are palimsests, layers that reveal and conceal. Processes of painting, marking, covering over and scratching through are repeated. Drawing from historical references, they combine the notations of pre-alphabetic languages and the surfaces of frescoes. They are explorations of time, of finding fragments, of loss and retrieval.
