Ellipses is an evolving group show by Colleen Billing, Faith Icecold, Zora Moniz, Joan Nelson, Kate Newby, Ido Radon, and Karolina Szwed. It is a collaboration with Romance Gallery in Pittsburgh.
"Like ellipses, which denote omissions, pauses in speech, trailing thoughts, or suspense—or an ellipse (singular), mathematically defined as the set of points where the sum of distances to two fixed points is constant—the project builds from fragmentation and extension, accumulating slowly through focus, repetition, variation, and revelation."
