Ella Husbands is a Brighton-based artist whose work explores notions of disrupted perception.  She often uses photography, video, and sculpture to immerse the viewer in a distorted environment. Her work is connected to her current experience with chronic fatigue syndrome and centres on a sense of movement and pattern.
