Ellen Angus (1986) is an interdisciplinary artist working across painting, performance, sculpture, drawing and text. Her practice is rooted in mythology, ecology, embodiment and the mysterious inner worlds of women, with the mermaid as a recurring figure linking the mass-produced hyperfemme body with the oozing abject at a time of ecological collapse.
