Artwork Portfolio - Showcasing the Art of Ella Smart
My artistic practice revolves around the creation of immersive experiences, sculpture, and vibrant moving images. Crafting plaster spheres and random-shaped sculptures, suspended at various heights or intertwined in stacks, inviting viewers to explore and interact with the artwork. Projecting psychedelic coloured visuals onto my sculptures, each chosen for its specific colours, intentionally eliciting a range of emotions and feelings. My objective is to explore the intersection of the physical and nonphysical. In doing so, my work delves into the intricate relationship between physical and digital realms, prompting viewers to contemplate the connections between tangible and intangible spaces. Hoping to expand the experience of my creations by shifting the focus more towards the physical sculptures, highlighting the materials used and using light to create multiple shadows and dimensions within the work and the surrounding environment. Establishing a playful, intimate environment allowing viewers to transcend conventional boundaries and offer a profound encounter.
