Ellen Nanni, Printmaking, Sophomore, Syracuse University
Inspired by ancient Mesopotamian clay tablets and a newfound love for working in clay, the artist created clay tablets to be covered on a flat-bottomed base. Tablets were linoleum block printed in acrylic, with base and covering spray-painted. Created in 2007 in an edition of three.
Ellen Nanni has been struggling with the imagery in her work, and ways in which to portray her message. Her art continues to go through great transformations, which she appreciates very much. She is excited to see where her art goes, and enjoys making and reacting to herself and her pieces. She hopes to learn as many art processes as possible, and to expand her work into as many media as possible, as well as to strengthen the conceptual message of her work.
