Mary Ellen Long: ROOTS
September 4-30 at THE LAND/gallery
Opening reception September 4, 6-8 p.m.
Beginning in the summer of 2009, Colorado artist Mary Ellen Long has spent a part of every day with roots, studying their special qualities and exploring their potential as an inspiration and source for artistic work. Out of this daily practice she has created a body of work - using handmade paper, ink, and sculptural books - that is both earthy and ethereal.
An environmental book artist, printmaker, painter and sculptor whose work reflects her intimacy with the woodlands around her Colorado home, Long has also worked at THE LAND's outdoor art site, most recently creating sculptural installations that integrated her handmade paper into the exposed roots of junipers. She has also used these visits to THE LAND to photograph and collect materials for use in ROOTS at THE LAND/gallery.
