Ely
Visual artist

Art and writing are part of an ongoing contemplative practice within the nitty gritty of life. I make works slowly over time, a bit like picking up pieces of mending, through a process of slow contemplation. I am interested in the interface between interior and exterior worlds, personal belonging, relationships of care, and the idea of women as holders of others.

In my landscape research I use art to observe, and I reflect on the extent to which we live in conflict or collaboration with natural systems.
