Ellie Irons

ELLIE IRONS is an interdisciplinary artist and educator based in Brooklyn, New York. She works in a variety of media, from walks to WIFI to gardening, to reveal how human and nonhuman lives intertwine with other earth systems.
Over recent years, in a rapidly gentrifying, concrete-laden corner of Brooklyn, I’ve been making watercolor paint from the wild plants near my studio. In the process, I’ve emotionally and physically entangled myself with a shifting pattern of transitory greenspace.
