ELLA CHEDBURN

In a time of environmental collapse, my work aims to repair our disconnection with nature and spirituality using technology and fiction. 

Online research is the driving force behind my practice; my sources are a muddled mixture of factual and fantastical, embracing the internet as a hub of fact and fiction. In one tab, I could be reading about the latest biotechnology developments; in the next tab: an ancient folklore surrounded by glittering clip art.

This exploration usually culminates as books, prints, installations or films which dreamily merge technology, biology, and fantasy. I transport my viewers to a realm where plants talk, trees glitch, and water remembers.

Below is a selection of my final year work from Kingston School of Art. Due to Covid19, this was our replacement for an end of year show :(
