"My work will always have a strange, uncanny form in it" - Interview with artist Chelsea Ellis 

"In my photographic work, I use my body and paint to create composite images of humanoid forms that blur the boundaries between the familiar and unfamiliar, investigating structures of the human body and posing the questions: Who are we? What are we?"
- Chelsea Ellis
