ELLIE TOWERS Based in The Royal Standard Gallery,  Liverpool

Situating itself in various landscapes, my practice looks to un-pack the forms that create an environment through reflections, memories, and anecdote, and re-work them into a comprehensive artwork, informed by the connections and communities that are made in relation to fictional, digital and physical spaces. 

 

Working from within my studio at Liverpool's The Royal Standard, I create this work using a mixture of handmade-drawings, paintings, miniature clay-sculptures, and 3D renderings - that are collaged together as it takes its form in between a material and virtual output - creating visual capsules of experience and thoughts.
