Tim Ellis

(b 1981, United Kingdom. Lives and works in London)

Tim Ellis' drawings are part of an ongoing series; 'Systems and Parallels'. The source imagery used is a mixture of signage and design; which is reconstructed to form symbols; maps; diagrams; and spatial constructions. The scale and material-quality of his drawings mimic the appearance of old parchment papers suggesting a secret code or symbolic meaning. This series continues to be influenced by objects and research Ellis carries out in locations around the world.
