Ellen Munro

I make work relating to memories or stories I've been told. I like to sew and embroider and make crafty things and then make them a bit punny….. Most of my ideas develop from these memories and experiences and often contain materials or objects that I have treasured for some time. I often work with everyday objects and with these, attempt to re-contextualise them to create an object of the extraordinary. Ellen Munro, 2003
