Working with a multiplicity non-traditional media Eleanor White strives to transform materials while honoring their innate associations. Rose petals, crushed emu or chicken eggshells, wood ash, glass bottles, dandelion fuzz, cocoa powder, playing cards, golf leaf, hourglasses, straight pins and zinfandel wine are some of the familiar materials in White’s work.
