Additional information
| Artist Statement | Trinkets from my personal collection are given homes among the icing architecture of castles, grottos, and arches. The pure snow-white of the porcelain kingdom is smothered in a mirror glaze reflecting my own desire and fantasy. These once magical objects no longer hold me to a dream of the future. The spell is broken, and disenchantment provides the freedom to live beyond the confines of a fairytale kingdom. |

| Bio | Challenging the established perceptions of cultural and artistic practices that were once exclusively coded as feminine and thus insignificant, Russell’s work celebrates the decorative, promiscuous aesthetics and politics of purity; the superficial, excess, and delight – with pleasure. Ebony Russell completed a Bachelor of Applied Arts (Honours) at Monash University in 2003 and in 2019 graduated from The National Art School Sydney with a Masters of Fine Art. Russell has won many awards including the Franz International Rising Star Award in 2018. |
