"A conversation with Ellen about her current art is also a much longer conversation about her life in art, its past and its future. From her early figurative sketches through her dream-based fan sculptures, her sumptuous landscapes, and her paintings of dolls - livelier than much human portraiture - Phelan’s art evokes the experience of her singular vision: a remembrance of things past so firmly rooted in collective longing that no matter the medium Phelan chooses, this longing becomes tangible and observable." (excerpted from BOMB Magazine interview, 7.1.2004)
