For South Seattle artist Jen Elek, “People, the relationships we have with one another, and the places we occupy, inspire my work. Making art acts as a translator, helping me process messages presented by modern media. My personal interpretation of American culture is the basis for my artwork.” In this piece, Butchigiri 2011 CMoG Roadshow, Jen draws on a method learned from gaffer Bryan Rubino to create a colorful grape inspired sculpture.
