Bio —



Ella West’s multidisciplinary practice engages with the relationship between human and geological timelines, using this as an artistic framework to address themes around care, labour, community, and home. She works predominantly across printmaking mediums, as well as creating performance-based video works and installations that combine varying elements of kinetic sculpture.

Ella West is an artist based in London. She graduated from the Slade School of Art with an MA in Fine Art Media and Contemporary Art Theory in 2022.
