Miss Ellen Jaye Benson b. 1980

Also known as Elle Jaye Rose
  • Artist (Mixed Media Artist)
Seated somewhere between representation and abstraction, my work treads both observed and metaphorical territories. There is always some sense of an allegorical journey accompanying a process-based struggle in my work; be it landscape or figurative. A battle between formative understandings and impulsive gut actions and feelings takes place. I ask what media is available to me and what I can push that media into saying.

Description

Driving movement or force; impulse; impetus; pressure

Drift is a mixed-media phantasmic wonderment often using man-made engineering structures such as lighthouses, roads and powerlines set in immense landscapes as a metaphor for humankinds romantic and precarious desire to understand, harness, shape & control nature.
