SELECTED REVIEWS

Several artists exhibit that kind of personal visual shorthand, inviting the viewer to decipher its mysteries. Ellie Kahana, for example, offers `Organic Geometry #1' as an exercise in transformation. Her forms hover between hard and soft, anchored and floating, solid and ephemeral, pulling first in one direction and then the other.

Ms. Kahana says her art is like different pieces of her life. Works are `like jewels to me,' she says, `like story telling, like landscapes and people and music and color and force.' They are, she notes, her attempts to capture a moment. `Symphony,' an acrylic oil on canvas, is a powerful 61 inches by 80 inches wherein notes soar forward, a cresting wave of music. Melody and cacophony spar before melody dominates.

- Susan Bridson, Three Village Times 1993
