About the Artist
In this series called Wretch‚ Eleanor executes her work through a controlled catharsis, observing and exploring seemingly simple images that hint at a grander gesture; frustration, desperation, sadness and volatile unrest. This visceral imagery is surreal yet sophisticated, reflective of disparate thought and a relentless obsession with personal distress. Certain themes are repeated within the narrative and all images are linked by some small reference to the image before. The homophonic nature of the title simultaneously signifies the awful qualities portrayed in the work, alongside it's homonym, Wretch‚ the act of ineffectual regurgitation. Eleanor lives and works in Wales where she recently won the 2006 Livery Award for Photographic Art.
