SSA ESSAY PROJECT | ELLIE BALK

From time to time we invite guest contributions to the SSA Essay Project from artists whose work we hope will be of particular interest to our membership. To mark Pi Day on 14 March (3/14) and celebrate the infinite possibilities of this intriguing number, we invited Ellie Balk, a Brooklyn-based public artist, to introduce us to her long-term project, ‘Visualizing Pi’.

Ellie Balk has an MFA in painting from Pratt Institute, NYC and works both nationally and internationally. Her public art can be experienced throughout New York City and St. Louis, Missouri, as well as in Buenos Aires, Argentina; Mae Rim, Thailand; Northern Senegal and Marrakech, Morocco.
