Ella Jones Seedling 2017
Ella creates installations, sculptures, and costumes centred on kinesthetic learning: learning through bodily movement, and creating tangible interactions between audience and artwork. Science and psychology inform her work on touch from the macro to the micro; from touch therapies and sensory rooms to the workings of touch receptors in the brain and the tactile qualities of cells through a microscope.
I explore the curiosity of touch, creating sculptures that entice playfulness and interaction. This is projected within the use of textures, material, colour and display. Being a multidisciplinary artist working with printmaking and sculpture allows me to investigate structure and form in my work. I’m interested in demonstrating that almost anything can be a sculpture, and that the idea is objective.
Recent projects include Welcome Collection's Mitochondrial Research Artist in Residence (2020-2021), Ingram Prize finalist (2020), Rat Trap; Artist Blind Date and Micro-residency, Cardiff, (2020). Ella graduated from Cardiff School of Art and Design (CSAD) in 2017 and was selected for the 2017 Wales in Venice Invigilator Plus programme.
