about the artist

a south london based artist focusing on lino printing, ellen has cultivated an intimate and therapeutic creative practice which asks us as viewers to explore the beauty of stillness. originally from california, ellen studied her bachelor of art history in rome and has taken inspiration from japanese ukiyo-e printmaking, greek and roman pottery and renaissance art. her serene, restrained and thoughtful artworks have arisen from an exploration of self as she searches for a sense of home in her own being.

about the artwork

‘she who seeks wisdom finds a home in her body. experience settles in her bones. strength, compassion, patience, and humility flow through her limbs, lengthen her spine and steady her gaze. as she discovers truth beyond pride, she moves towards it. she speaks to pain and lets it move her more fully into form. her body is the path to wisdom.’

this artwork is a signed and numbered limited edition of 17 linoleum print hand-printed on a sheet of japanese hosho paper. the image size is 20.5 x 30.7 cm and the paper size is 28 x 39.4 cm. this artwork is sold mounted and framed in a aluminium frame with a white oak veneer. the framed size measures 30.7 x 43 cm.

as all prints are hand pressed, each edition will have minor differences - which adds to the character of the print.
