Bio—
Ella West is a visual artist living and working in London, UK. Working within the mediums of installation, video and print, West is interested in themes of nature, family, failure, symbolism and the body. In the work, the often appearing rock – or the facsimile of the rock – can shift between signifying the mother, the home, the bones of the earth.
