Artist's Statement
Quirky shapes define Ella’s collections. These forms are themselves a layering up of different visual and cultural references and are expressed through carefully chosen material combinations.
“Materials are key to my work, often having been collected over time, awaiting the right project to bring their qualities to the fore. They include brass to balsa, sea worn plastic to gold, and pearls to Lucite. I enjoy the conversation between precious and non-precious components and often position them side-by-side.”
Ella’s work has been exhibited in The Scottish Gallery, at New Designers – 'One Year In', at The Goldsmiths’ Centre and The Goldsmiths’ Hall amongst others during 2018.
