Biography

Ned Elliott graduated with a First Class Honours in History from the University of Bristol in 2017. Influenced by music, history, literature, daydreams and flights of fancy, he uses movement, transparency, and pattern, and the imagery of natural forms and phenomena, imagined and observed, fragranced with psychedelia, to explore psychological themes of history, death, and existentialism. Reacting consciously and unconsciously to contemporary events (personal and societal), his work, ultimately, is about interpreting the experience of life and death as needing constant reassessment.
