Indepth Arts News: "Wild Life/ Wildlife: An Artist's Response" 2008-03-25 until 2008-05-04 Gallery at Mount Ida College Newton, MA, USA United States of America
Ellen Jantzen comments about her work: "I don’t set out to make a specific image; rather, I choose physical elements and locations that I feel have a curious affinity for one another. I then purposefully place these elements together in ephemeral assemblages. My goal is to cultivate unexpected visual references with the potential to surprise. I photograph these set ups, then, using my computer, I layer, alter and manipulate the raw photos as I search for the new images within. "
The exhibition was curated by Professor and artist John Tricomi and Associate Professor, Gallery Director and artist Kathleen Driscoll. View more Ellen Jantzen's work in her Portfolio at http://www.absolutearts.com/portfolios/e/ellenjantzen/
