Artists statement: Ellen’s Practice has been slowly moving from pure printmaking to larger installation-based pieces. Her concepts are based on research she has done on colour therapy and its effect on different states of mind and the scales of mental illnesses. Ellen likes to focus on the over all experience of her work for the viewer and likes to invite the audience to interact with her artwork. By using a spectrum of blue hues, repeated pattern and gradients Ellen has created an aesthetic theme in her work, using aspects of 3D and light installation to create a sense of unusual surroundings and optical illusions for the viewer to experience. |
