“I made a vow in kindergarten to become an artist. I think even then I had an inkling that somehow making art could be a life that made sense, holding the beauty and the absurdity in the same breath,” reveals artist Robyn Ellenbogen.
Working primarily in metal-point, her love of materials spills over into textile, animation and artist books. Ellenbogen’s abstract works feature dream-like organic forms, which evoke nature, sensation and flux. The artist works out of a
a renovated barn bordering a bamboo forest. Currently, she’s working on a scroll-like series of metal-point drawings, which illuminate the artist’s understanding of Eihei Dogen’s “Mountains and Waters Sutra.” She’s keen on the unexpected, and names her greatest artistic challenge as “having the time to pursue all the roads of creativity that beckon me forth.”
