Betty Collings: Organic Sculptor
Process artist who in the 70's used a personally evolved topological geometry to transform a cell like shape into multiple biomorphic, inflatable forms; all reminiscent of biological process, the most anthropomorphic became bronzed. Now, selected shapes from this work form the ground for large expressive, three dimensional paintings referencing galactic forces. Also works in ceramic. Lives in Ohio, USA, and New Zealand.
