COMFORT ZONE

NEW EXHIBITION OF ELLIE THOMPSON’S FELT FIGURES TO LAUNCH IN 95 GLOUCESTER GREEN.

In this new exhibition, Fusion Arts has partnered with Ellie Thompson, Ruskin School of Art graduate, for a showcase of whimsical creatures entitled Comfort Zone. Thompson’s interest in schadenfreude and a cartoonish sense of humour informs each of her soft felt sculptures.

She explains:

“My characters are at once extinct and alive, forever stuck in a sticky situation. The flightless bird is of particular interest to me.”

Ellie Thompson’s work will be on display in 95 Gloucester Green Oxford, OX1 2BU from the 16th August until the 13th September, free and available to visit by appointment. Please contact eva-may@fusion-arts.org if you wish to make an appointment or alternatively have a peer at Thompson’s creatures through the windows at any time.
