The series YOUR BEAUTY’S GOLD is intricately carved, suggesting fragments from antiquity and abstractions of the natural world.
Ellen's work addresses ideas about the natural world, abstraction, loss, regeneration, the past, and beauty. Extending her artistic practice to the creation of functional pieces gives a new way to bring this sculptural aesthetic into the everyday life of our homes and gathering places.
Each item is made in her studio in Bushwick, Brooklyn. The use of white glaze over terra-cotta in this collection is inspired by the painted mixed-media sculpture of Cy Twombly, who once remarked, “white is my marble.”
Most meaningfully, she makes each piece using hand-building techniques where touch is recorded in the clay, embedding each mark and gesture with a memory. It is an inherently imperfect technique that touches on our human condition and is all the more compelling.
