Ella Merriman is an artist, designer and craftsperson based in London. She works predominantly in rush, a traditional basket weaving material, to create pieces that she describes as being ‘love letters to Mother Nature ’. Her work ponders the disassociation between so many of us and the natural world and she is fascinated by the relationship between humans and plants.
Ella has worked as a creative and maker for many years and has discovered a deep connection to natural materials. The open dialogue between material and maker has allowed her practice to evolve from creating solely functional objects to sculpture and art.
Ella graduated with a first class BA (Hons) from The School of Art, Architecture and Design in 2018 and has exhibited her work across the UK and Europe.
