Ellen Harrold is an artist focused on the human connection to science and nature. She is currently completing a master’s degree in Art, Science, and Visual thinking at Dundee University and has recieved a bachelors degree in Fine Art from IADT in Dublin. A core aspect of her practice is the use of painting, drawing, text, and textiles to explore the connection between decay and renewal in the world around us. At the moment she is focused on how scientific understanding was, and continues to be, understood through the lens of art and storytelling. She has taken part in IADT student shows such as New Translations in IMMA (2019), On Show in IADT (2022) and Propositions in IADT (2022). She has recently published both written and visual work in New Feathers Anthology (Winter 2022), Londemere Literary (Issue 1), and Paddler Press; as well as publishing her first book ‘Aesthetics and Conventions of Medical Art’. In her spare time she likes making lasagne and playing old video games.
