TWIST OF FATE ARTIST RECEPTION – GEARBOX GALLERY

The element of surprise and chance is obviously integral to the intuitive/creative process of artists Marsha Balian and Linda Ellinwood.  Although their work is unique and quite different, that is the commonality and the reason Balian’s assemblages of found materials and Ellinwood’s sculptures of organic materials are harmonious.The beginning point for each of their works seems to arise from random materials carefully arranged rather than from a concept or preconceived notion.   Each piece takes form and finds its own way to completion.  That is not to suggest that the process is accidental.  Both artists create their art from two dimensional and/or three dimensional objects, each piece of which seems to anticipate and require every other piece through to completion.
