“element – progress” is curated by john ros featuring the work of annie varnot, jodi hays, joel bacon, kariann fuqua, kirsten nash, nancy hubbard & richard feaster.
On a recent visit to the studio of artist to Annie Varnot, I had the opportunity to view the artist’s biomorphic, landscape inspired sculptures, drawings, and photographs up close. I was instantly struck by the intensity of labor and craft that goes into her assemblages made from jewelry size pieces of cut drinking straws and the extremely detailed, lace cut-out drawings. The artist, who describes her goal as “creating an environment in which to be safe”, is approaching her project on a very intimate scale.

galleryELL would like to take this opportunity to officially welcome three new artists:
matthew choberka, kirsten nash & annie varnot.
these artists join a dynamic group of actively working artists concerned with connectivity to community beyond their practice.
we look forward to working with them and growing our strength as a transient gallery community.
