Ellen Gibson

Ellen Gibson received a B.A. in art history from Boston University, and a M.F.A. from Massachusetts College of Art in Sculpture. She is inspired by simplistic lines with deep messages, and she tends to use materials such as wood, steel, copper and rope to integrate ideas of manufacturing into her work. She greatly focuses on tools, and their ability to create other tools. In fact, she wants to celebrate tools and their utilitarian nature throughout the world. She has been involved in exhibitions throughout the United States, and she has taught at Massachusetts College of the Art.
