Artist Statement
A sense of place has dominated Ellis’s work which conveys ethereal and surreal landscapes dominated by atmospheric skies. A process which combines intuitive marks suggesting composition yet remaining ambiguous, without narrative inviting the viewer to bring their own understanding of the manipulated space:
“The work is less about real places much more about the autobiographical landscapes we all inhabit”.
