ellen berkenblit

Born in Patterson, New Jersey, 1958
Studied at The Cooper Union, New York, New York (B.F.A. 1980)
Lives and works in New York City

My work is figurative. The figures I choose have one purpose: they carry the line that I wish to draw. The figures are not symbolic; they don't represent anyone or anything in particular. They are the perfect excuse to get the first line going. Sometimes it is not the line that starts this domino effect - it can be a color.

After that, it's accident built on accident - a chain reaction of select accidents.
