Ellen Jong
Ellen Jong is a photographer and conceptual artist. In 2011, anxiety overcame her and she looked to knotting for relief. Throughout history from our earliest civilizations and across cultures, knotting was not only a practical tool but also practiced to calm the mind. She referenced the knots of sea men who would knot blind in the height of the deadliest storms, and knot ‘recreationally’ to help pass the time – as a way to save herself from the stormy waves inside her. Jong’s rope sculpture may start out as a functional knot but end up wound into new form or combed out, released and deconstructed. Her collaboration with Coco Dolle came out of kinship.
