| Ellen Ringstad | |

I was born in 1981 in Oslo, Norway where I live and work. I have just finished a 3-year course in art at DTK in Norway and am starting a bachelor degree at Bergen National Academy of the Arts. |
| About the Artist | |
Biomorphic form, growth, decay, transformation, materiality, tactility, repetition, accumulation are some keywords to describe Ellen’s artworks. She experiments in different media – sculpture, installation, photography, drawing, painting – and uses a range of materials such as textiles, paper, plastic, organic material etc. Her projects are mostly rooted in a fascination for nature’s ingenious forms. References to art history are varied - op art, arte povera, minimalism, maximalism, formalism, post-painterly abstraction and artists such as Eva Hesse, Yayoi Kusama, Anish Kapoor, Ernesto Neto, Bridget Riley and Sol Lewitt, just to mention a few. |

Information Overload I (Detail)

|
| "Information Overload I" contains approximately 4500-5000 small cones, hand rolled, made out of paper from magazines. A comment about the advertising industry and the thousands of messages with which we are bombarded every day, creating an information overload. A video of this sculpture can be found on my website. |

| The Mitosis-series is the predecessor of the Micromutant-series. Mitosis in biology is the process in which a cell divides and forms two identical daughter cells. The reference to the mitosis is to suggest something that is growing. |
