Ellie Niblock. Sculpture Garden Exhibition
Ellie Niblock is a multidisciplinary artist from Northern Ireland, living and working in London. She is a graduate from the Fine Art Masters course at Central Saint Martins, which she completed in 2020. In 2015 she completed a BA (Hons) in Textile Art, Design and Fashion at Ulster University.
She has worked professionally as an artist for four years, through exhibitions, residencies, and commissions. During this time, she has held 3 solo exhibitions across Northern Ireland. Ellie has participated in international group shows, including working with notable venues such as Tate, British Council, The Mark Rothko Centre, and Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art. Additionally, she will be undertaking a residency at Yorkshire Sculpture Park in 2021. She was the first artist from Northern Ireland to be awarded an art residency to India in 2016, by The Arts Council of Northern Ireland and British Council, and has sold work to The Arts Council of Northern Ireland for their permanent collection.
Ellie primarily works with sculpture and digital technologies, and she is interested in exploring the possibilities of how materiality and technology can alter our perception of experiences. Utilising her textile background, she creates highly decorative, tactile, and colourful objects using a range of materials including synthetics and found objects. Ellie combines the physical and the digital by using 3D scanning, 3D printing, animation, virtual reality, and augmented reality, as a tool to explore the mutation of her sculptural objects and how they might appear differently in alternative scenarios. She is curious about visualising the invisible and making something intangible become tangible.
