Ellen Heck II

Ellen Heck's colour wheels amazing collections of colour from different situations. A foggy morning in San Francisco and an antiques fair are amongst some of the colour events that have been painstakingly mapped and documented by Ellen. 
I really like the idea of producing colour wheels of particular locations and events I think this is something that I would like to introduce to my teaching as part of sketch making and initial research.

Ellen Heck I

Ellen Heck is a young printmaker from California. These are a selection from Ellen's series 'Forty Frida's'. 
"Forty Fridas is a portfolio of woodcut and drypoint prints depicting forty different women and girls dressed up as Frida Kahlo. Individually, each portrait focuses intimately on the task of pretending to be someone one isn’t – and in so doing, revealing oneself all the more. When viewed together, themes of identity and variation rise to the foreground." Ellen Heck
