Ellen Barratt - Artist experimenting with light through photographic processes and installation

​Drawing on a multidisciplinary approach, she integrates traditional and contemporary mediums, including graphite, ink, photography, glass, and reflective materials, to create installation and photographic works which disrupt the boundaries between the visible and the unknown. In her installations, light becomes both a material and a medium, offering a multi-sensory experience that challenges the viewer’s spatial and perceptual awareness. She is drawn to the moments where light fractures, bends, and disappears, reflecting on how these transitions alter our sense of time, space, and self.

​

Ellen’s practice exists in the convergence of analog and digital realms. She combines digital light with traditional analog processes, creating an intriguing dialogue between the material and immaterial. In a world increasingly shaped by technology, her work offers a quiet meditation on the subtle, ever-present forces of light that shape our experience of the world.

Ellen’s practice reveals the hidden structures beneath the surface, offering a profound reflection on the delicate balance between destruction and transformation.
