Ellen Dahl

Ellen Dahl’s artistic practice is largely rooted in working with or around the landscape. Ellen explores the expanded field of the photographic medium for its aesthetic/poetic potential to engage new ways of assembling ecological meaning and geological imagination.

She has exhibited extensively throughout Australia and received an MFA (research) from SCA University of Sydney and a PhD from School of Creative Arts and Media, University of Tasmania.
