She develops a grammar of illumination — images, vestiges, and brief melodies that keep the threshold ajar rather than closing the question. Her process is rooted in remembrance: for her, to exist is to remember, recall, and respond. Vision and form engage in a subtle exchange, each shaping the other, and through this dialogue, her work returns familiar things with a renewed sense of presence. The outcome is not a definitive answer, but an open question, an invitation to remain attentive and contemplative. If one were to angle two mirrors just so, that each reflects the other’s light, Ella-Jenna opens the conversation to a reflective corridor in which memory and presence pass quietly back and forth.

​

Alongside her visual art, Ella-Jenna writes poems and philosophical essays that accompany the studio as a second site of making. On the page, as on canvas, she works where perception opens.These texts are not separate from her studio practice but extend it, registering delicate shifts in thought and sensation. Her writing often moves through synaesthetic territory, where sound and colour, texture and tempo, intersect and mingle. Nature appears frequently, not merely as backdrop but as a medium for understanding.

​

Across all her work, there is a consistent stance: patience over display, depth over effect. Text and image remain in dialogue, distinct yet connected. The courage of her art is understated, preferring invitation to declaration, and leaving space for reflection rather than conclusion. Ever seen that flickering electric light hung at the edge of a wood, casting enough light to invite you in, but leaving the path undefined? Ella-Jenna’s work makes sure that each step is chosen with care.
