In this episode of Platemark, I talk with Ellen Heck about her artistic journey and work. We talk about the intricacies of printmaking techniques, Ellen's various portrait series, and the conceptual ideas behind her work. Ellen shares her journey from studying philosophy at Brown, to printmaking at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and finally working at the Kala Art Institute in Berkeley. They also explore topics like the influence of Mary Cassatt, the use of color wheels in organizing compositions, and Ellen's fascination with topology in her artwork. Our insightful conversation about the roles within the art ecosystem concludes with the philosophical underpinnings of Ellen's creative process.
