I am an artist based in Tel Aviv. I first studied Textile Design at Central Saint Martins in London, which led me to spend some time in the textile industry and fashion trend bureaux. I then turned to graphic design and illustrations with a strong pull towards making collages.
A few years later and willing to step out of the screen-size and complete my curriculum, I continued my journey in the MFA (Master Degree in Fine Arts) at Bezalel Academy (Israel). There, I discovered a passion for space transformation – a 3D collage of sorts.
Throughout my career, the love for hand-made pieces and techniques has been a recurrent thread. Whether through weaving, painting, making videos, collages, space transformations, writing, or now music, I like to dive in a craft, acquire new skills and “play”.
Since the Covid-19 situation and its many lockdowns, I find a great pleasure in writing a blog. It contains stories behind a process or a piece, mixed with thoughts or ideas that unfold from my own life experiences. I have never had a diary, though I always loved to write and the lockdown naturally pushed me to realize this desire.
Love, Ethel
Ps: feel free to write to me!
