Ellie Pierson

This girl has a spectacular vision and sense of sound for things unseen, but heard and unheard, but seen. She swears that she will finish her schooling for good. She thinks that survival is a luxury, and thus she is going to give this notion weight in her daily activities and through her interactions with both inanimate and animate beings.  She is an elaborator, a traveler, but not a salesman.  Chances are she will beat you in a game of Scrabble.  Buy her some purple handcrafted German shoes, send her to Orcas Island or Kodiak Island, surprise her.  After all, she is from OH and her initials are LE.

Sarah Witt


Email | Blog

Fundamentally a living being, experimenting as a human, Sarah Witt occasionally identifies herself as a cross-disciplinary visual artist. Primarily focusing in performative video works, Sarah fabricates and portrays characters that become influenced and controlled by their environments. After receiving her BFA in Film from Syracuse University in 2004, Sarah relocated to New York City where she was involved in commercial sculpture production and minor sauerkraut production. In 2007, a nomadic appetite led Sarah to Greensboro, North Carolina where she participated as an artist-in-residence at Elsewhere Artist Collaborative and has since been involved as a member of the Elsewhere Tenured Collective.
