About the Artist
I am Ella-Rose Budd, I would describe myself as a printmaker and visual maker. I have been developing and expanding my ideas and interests within Printmaking where I have focus and passion for silk screen printing.
The nature of my practice is based on exploring, capturing, and forming interaction from a place. Through the different forms in which are presence to me, could be the atmosphere, motifs, textures, or materials present when visited.
I aim to invite the viewer to participate in the work by questioning object, surface structure and place/space. Using the process of screen printing to create prints which could sit in different format, from two dimensional or three dimensional. I like to think of it as creating an environment which the viewer or anyone can be a part of but don’t necessarily need to understand or have visited the place before.
In fact, this process of interaction is the primary intention of my practice. Hands-on making and the processes that underpin the production of my work are important to me, especially the relationship between developing the surface design and its application to a material, object, structure, or space. Surface provides a central focus for me it is the inspiration and starting point of the creative journey through which, I develop my designs.

Skills
The skills I have developed through screen-printing have allowed me to look at layering and composition which plays an important part in the overall display of my artwork. I have found that my skills have really developed in terms of translating two-dimensional works into a three-dimensional form and this has expanded my technical ability as well as producing an extensive range of works.
