SSA ESSAY PROJECT | ELLIE BALK
From time to time we invite guest contributions to the SSA Essay Project from artists whose work we hope will be of particular interest to our membership. To mark Pi Day on 14 March (3/14) and celebrate the infinite possibilities of this intriguing number, we invited Ellie Balk, a Brooklyn-based public artist, to introduce us to her long-term project, ‘Visualizing Pi’.
Ellie Balk has an MFA in painting from Pratt Institute, NYC and works both nationally and internationally. Her public art can be experienced throughout New York City and St. Louis, Missouri, as well as in Buenos Aires, Argentina; Mae Rim, Thailand; Northern Senegal and Marrakech, Morocco.
About the Essay Project
The SSA essay programme intends to highlight the creative thinking of our members and to provide a platform for expressing and sharing our opinions on Art, Life and the World.
SSA Members are invited to submit essays for consideration by the SSA Essay Steering Group. This Group will look for essays containing original ideas and pertinent comments on the arts and beyond. You might, for example, like to write about your own art practice, the work of other artists you are familiar with, shows you have seen, or your musings on creative and cultural life.
