MFA Degree Show
Ellen Munro's work relates to memories or stories she has collected over time. She employs an eclectic vocabulary combining traditional craft processes with objects embodied with memory which are then transformed into objects of the extraordinary.
Munro (b. Stirling, 1980) is a recent graduate of the MFA, Edinburgh College of Art. Following her BA Fine Art Degree from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee (2002) Munro has exhibited widely, principally in Scotland and is now a committee member of the Collective Gallery, Edinburgh.
