Katie Ellidge
I am a multidisciplinary artist, who threads experiences, memories and surroundings into my work. I work with reused materials with a variety of mediums such as paints, pencils, inks, textiles and wood in my practice. I often explore objects and the relationship we have with them, how precious items encapsulate stories, memories and emotions. I’m fascinated in how objects are often left behind, living on and becoming a vestige of a person, animal, life and time. I’m fascinated in ways of capturing moments, through collecting objects to use as inspiration for my work, as well as creating sketches documenting fleeting moments. My more recent work explores the relationship we have with animals and the bonds we create with them.
I bring playfulness to my work, creating an expressive visual language through colourful mark making and patterns, adapting them to the subjects in my work. I enjoy exploring colours and how they interact with each other. Perception is fascinating to me. I explore it through the arrangement of subjects and patterns in relation to each other, working with a variety of materials, contrasting colours, as well as experimenting with two painting methods, illusionism and abstraction. More recently I have been experimenting with working three dimensionally, creating colourful sculptures as well as exploring different ways of adding textures into my work.
