Ellen Slupe, Chance, May 2004
The blueprint on DNA remains an unreadable tour book for life's journey. With no preplans and with no guidebook, chance emerges to lead the way. Chance selects love, chance allots heath, chance deals luck.
Ellen Slupe is drawn to straight-sided shapes. Realizing that everything we do is processed by determining the variance from vertical to horizontal, the straight-sided shape became a metaphor for human activity in her work.
Ellen Slupe is an artist and writer.She was born and raised in Lancaster County and of Pennsylvania Dutch and Danish heritage. Her early path in science led to a BS in pre-med biology from Elizabethtown College followed by research at Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation in La Jolla CA and at the Penn State University Hershey Medical Center in Hershey PA.
