About the Artist

Ella Merriman is an artist, designer and craftswoman based in London. She works predominantly in rush, a traditional basket weaving material, to create pieces that she describes as being ‘love letters to Mother Nature’.

Her process of creation is a collaboration between the artist and material. As no human is the same, neither are the rush stems and Ella chooses to respect each one, working symbiotically with the plant to craft her sculptures. As a Londoner with minimal access to the great outdoors, she believes that her practice reunites her with the land and she finds a deep sense of belonging and grounding within her making process.
