Ellen Bell

Statement

My drawings are a response to presence and absence. I am there, drawing in a space that others once lived in, capturing both their traces and mine. Essentially self-portraits, these drawings tell of my living encounter with another's death through the objects that remain. 

Bio

An artist and writer, Bell is currently studying full-time for a practice-based, drawing research PhD at Leeds Beckett University, exploring how drawing can help us understand loss.
