Ella Robinson - Decorative Objects

Decorative Objects...

...are colourfully stitched or wrapped wooden pieces (either found or drift wood).

These artworks frequently utilise the texture and character of driftwood, contrasting its weathered,

uneven and dull surface against the feminine softness and sheen of textile thread and plastic tubing.

Inspired by the mood of the British coast, with palettes reminiscent of street art and graffiti, these

artworks exploit Ella's passion for colour, collecting and graphic pattern.

*If you would like to make a purchase, or enquire about a possible commission, please contact Ella directly using her details under the contact tab, all pieces with a price are currently for sale. Other artworks may also be available, please contact Ella for further information.

Smaller Decorative Objects

At most times various sizes, colours and styles of each genre will be available, or can be commissioned (depending on your requirements).
