Matilda Ellis is a queer artist and illustrator who creates work that explores queer intimacy, the power of a body and personal and ancient odysseys. Through textiles, drawing and printmaking her practice is a series of fragments, traces and vignettes that build to form a poetic language exploring identity, history, and non-linear narrative. She is fascinated by what is passed down and survives through time be that story, song, or object; and how we can re-examine these treasures through a contemporary lens.
