Bryony Ella’s practice moves between the public realm and the studio. She creates collaborative, touring and site-specific installations that bring together painting, film, sculpture, dance and music to form new rituals for a time of climate crisis. Alongside this, her paintings explore the body as fluid, porous and deeply connected to the natural world, guided by her intuitive ‘wild drawing’ practice and the concept of embodied ecology.

Across both strands, her work reflects an ecocentric perspective and a commitment to revealing overlooked stories of kinship and belonging between humans and the more-than-human world.

Testimonials

It gave me hope and excitement for the future of our planet and the inclusion of everyone to help save it... The artwork was very powerful and gripping - a feast for the senses.

- Audience, The Colour of Transformation

"I thought it was very moving, very provocative and emotional at times. It particularly made you think about vulnerable people and their experience of heat."

- Audience, Stand of the Sun

This was a seminal moment… Deeply connecting me to place, to the sun, to community… Synchronised, powerful, beautiful.

- Audience, Stand of the Sun 

This is a beautifully complex and deeply thoughtful way to help us reimagine our understanding of environmental data.

- Visitor, The Dataset's Dream

It made me feel seen.

- Audience, The Colour of Transformation

Absolutely superb, and surprising… It was very engaging on many levels. The performance and musicians carried you along on what seemed a journey. At times one of tiredness, at others full of vibrancy. As a way to engage people, to try to get them to reflect, I thought it was excellent.

- Audience, Stand of the Sun 

It felt like treading in an unseen frontier space.

- Visitor, The Dataset's Dream

The movement, the music, the artwork - it was incredible. I felt the journey, it was amazing. It's not often you get those three things together and the whole is more than its parts, it was wonderful. I felt it, I could relate to it, it reaffirmed my feelings about heat.

- Audience, Stand of the Sun

Mesmerising, immersive, life-affirming… I found it thought-provoking and therapeutic… I actually cried!

- Audience, Stand of the Sun 

It was very moving, creative, dynamic, there were a lot of moving parts and they were synchronised with one another; there were periods of activity with calm to regain your energy. it definitely made heat more prominent in my mind as something to think about and how others experience it differently. You think of heat as something that happens to you instead of something that is captured by you and the words of the poetry and the dancers illuminated this phenomenon to me.

- Audience, Stand of the Sun

More forward thinking work like this please. It is long overdue.
