Bryony Ella’s practice moves between the public realm and the studio. She creates collaborative, touring and site-specific installations that bring together painting, film, sculpture, dance and music to form new rituals for a time of climate crisis. Alongside this, her paintings explore the body as fluid, porous and deeply connected to the natural world, guided by her intuitive ‘wild drawing’ practice and the concept of embodied ecology.
Across both strands, her work reflects an ecocentric perspective and a commitment to revealing overlooked stories of kinship and belonging between humans and the more-than-human world.
