Ellen Driscoll's work, including sculpture, drawing and public art, comes from diverse sources such as architecture, the ancient memory arts and primitive imaging techniques such as shadow play. The artist makes her work through a bricolage process, incorporating the happy unpredictable chances that materials, sites and social histories can suggest.
Driscoll is a professor of Sculpture at Rhode Island School of Design. Her work has been shown at the Whitney Museum at Phillip Morris; Threadwaxing Space and Grand Central Terminal, both in New York; and the South Boston Maritime Park to name a few. Driscoll has been awarded fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, Anonymous Was a Woman, the ELF Foundation, and Radcliffe's Bunting Institute. Her work is included in major public and private collections, including New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art and Whitney Museum of American Art.
