About the Artist

Elliot began working with clay during the later stages of the pandemic. Following mentorship from David Oxley at Harrogate College, he went to university in Glasgow and continued to research and develop his art practice through ceramics. He received a BA in Fine Art – Sculpture & Environmental Art from the Glasgow School of Art in 2024.

Working with clay, cast materials and reclaimed components, Elliot examines cycles of consumption, collapse and survival. His practice centres around material-led sculpture and ceramic installation, responding to the overlooked, discarded elements of urban and industrial life. He draws parallels between human behaviour, urban infrastructure and the built environment, considering how we handle growth, decay and control.
