The Missoula Art Museum (MAM), in Missoula, Montana, was founded in 1975, and is one of the leading contemporary art museums in the Intermountain West. One of the recent MAM exhibits, Burnt Fossils, featured the work of Ellen Ornitz.
According to the Museum:
“Ellen Ornitz presents functional work created during pandemic isolation as an extension of her sculptural practice. In keeping with her fascination with the excavations in Pompeii and Iron Age “bog” bodies (dating 800 B.C.–A.D. 200) from Northern Europe, Ornitz’s primitive-fired vessels are intended to look unearthed, time-scoured, and fossilized.”
