Item Special Note

Sally Heller has been building site-specific installations for the past five years. She often builds them at college galleries and university museums with the help of art students. They generally take the form of landscapes, complete with tin foil trees, flora and fauna assembled out of cellophane, pipe cleaners and endless bric à brac, the kind of consumer detritus one uses and discards. Colorfully bold and laboriously handmade, these whimsically sly forests speak loudly to the vast amount of global mass production and our addiction to convenience. Sally attended the University of Wisconsin and holds a masters degree of fine art from Virginia Commonwealth University. She has shown extensively over the past five years and has had solo installations in various galleries. She is currently working on a new show for Ohio State University Gallery.
