Ellen Wiener


Artist Statement

Spilling Book is a mixed-media original work on handmade Japanese paper. It uses visual influences from the golden age of engraving - when landscape acted as   maps for metaphor, morality and imagination.

Biography

Ellen Wiener uses content from verse, theology, and history in her paintings, prints and artist’s books. She frequently combines text and image in collaboration with contemporary writers. Her current work explores perceptions of landscape as links to language and culture.

Wiener has held faculty appointments at SUNY, SCCC, CUNY, Sarah Lawrence, Princeton and Dartmouth. She has lived on the North Fork since 1989.
