Ella Morris

Artist in residence
Ella Morris

I am an art graduate from Bath Spa University who works mostly with sculpture, printmaking and drawing. I focus on humanity’s relationship with animality and nature. Engaging with historical references, philosophical and psychological understanding of the human condition, I attempt to show this complex relationship. Recently my work has focused on the universal phenomenon of prehistoric cave painting and shamanism, in an attempt to highlight how it contrasts with the realities of civilisation today. Particularly, Chauvet cave; a gallery of prehistory, displaying ambiguous hybrid figures amongst animal paintings, and a ritualistic bear skull altar, connoting a shamanic interconnectedness with nature. My ongoing practice will investigate more of the philosophy behind shamanism and our relationship with the natural world currently. The laborious nature of making with plaster and straw endeavours to represent the tension between the boundary of animality and humanity. Using materiality and surface to elicit an affinity with the sculptures.
