Jon Elliott

BIO
Jon Elliott imagines worlds that lie somewhere between conceptual patterning and perceived reality. Combining photography, painting, inks, and manipulation of paper, his resulting images are simultaneously organic, atmospheric, and geometric. A fractured space emerges, mirroring the relatable existential schism between the world we perceive and the abstract reality that physical sciences present.
