about
Eleanor’s work explores our relationship to knowledge and information. She engages with questions of responsibility, agency and authority in both the personal and public spheres, reflecting on trust and reliability in relation to both the information from others that we engage with and the knowledge we develop ourselves through experience, learning and memory.
Consideration of the different ways an idea, intention or piece of information are communicated and understood, reflecting on the ways our personal knowledge and experience affects our own interpretation of information, is intrinsic to Eleanor’s work. With a preoccupation with materiality and the haptic, she is interested in the ways we seek to document and preserve the fleeting or intangible, resolving digital or ephemeral information into analogue artefacts, as tangible, tactile evidence of a moment, an idea, or a memory.
Eleanor is a London-based artist and member of Critical Edge Collective and FOLD Art Collective. She graduated an MA in Fine Art from UAL Camberwell in 2023 and was awarded the East London Printmakers Graduate Marketing Award and membership of the Printmakers Council. Her previous career was as a Civil Servant, mostly at the Department for Culture.
