Dimensions: d 36 x w 85 x h 145 cm. Materials: metal resin, plaster, and iron. Atelier ellery my practice is rooted in architectural form, material tension, and the relationship between object and body. I work primarily with metals—materials that carry weight, memory, and permanence—shaped into sculptural pieces that invite both physical and visual interaction. These objects often explore gravitational dynamics, considering how weight, balance, and form affect the way the body approaches, responds to, or is held by a structure. These forms often explore boundaries: between intimacy and distance, stillness and movement, structure and softness. Many of my works can be touched, sat in, or moved; kinetic elements are introduced to create a sense of calm, presence, and responsiveness. A movement might echo the body’s gesture or rhythm, subtly shifting how one relates to space. I’m interested in how sculpture can function as a site; something to enter into, rest within, or observe quietly. By folding materials around imagined or real bodies, i seek to create objects that hold a charge: sculptural presences that feel at once solid and open, architectural and emotional. Each piece is a study in form, but also feeling; how a curve invites approach, how a divide becomes a threshold, how metal, when worked by hand, retains the trace of care. See less
