Katie EleanorDear One Threads A Cocoon - Unique Hand-coloured Print in Walnut frame2019
2019
About the Item
Hand-coloured portrait of a human larvae bursting out of their cocoon, immobilised in marble.
Representative of a safe and isolating space, the cocoon is both a cage and a shelter. This tale is a
study of transformation, of breaking apart and coming back together as the larvae emerges from
the silken threads.
Taken from The Sialia Marbles, a series of portraits containing ephemeral human sculptures taken between 2016-19. Together these works act as tales contained in a fictional sculpture hall, in direct reaction to Andre Malraux’s 1947 Le Musee Imaginaire (Museum Without Walls).
During the beginning of the 'Museum Age' in the 18th century , writer Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe discussed mythical sculpture as living in a world where they 'reign in splendid isolation' (On the Laocoon Group, 1798); a description which sings in melody with the dissociative nature of the artist's mind. In reaction, Eleanor casts stories in a form of fictional rigor mortis, through the symbolic reference to the weight and endurance of marble sculpture. Tableau's react only within themselves: anatomist studies corpse, a creature is hunted, angels embrace the sanctuary of one another. Within the anthology, Eleanor's own fragments of visual tales are complemented by visual references to characters (and their artists) who have become beautiful stains on her own visual tapestry.
This print is unique due to artistic process of hand colouring and any future edition of larger or smaller dimension (to order) would vary. Life size print available to order upon request.
Frame: Custom made in UK, Book mount-board, Walnut (waxed) frame and finish with antireflective UV protective glass
Image size: 15 9/10 × 12 in/ 40.5 × 30.5 cm, Framed: 57 x 47 cm
About the Artist:
Katie Eleanor (b.1993) is a photographic artist living and working in London. She studied Photographic Arts at University of Westminster, graduating in 2015.
Her practice revolves around illustrating enigmatic narratives that bridge the gap between fantasy and reality. Once she has a concept for her stories, she paints the performer(s), designs and makes the costumes, and creates the sets to photograph them.
Using analog photography and contemporary printing techniques, the resulting black and white prints are then meticulously hand- coloured by the artist.
Katie's work has received press by The Royal Photographic Society, and her fashion stories have been published by magazines such as Hunger and Notion.
Her work has been recently acquired by numerous private art and photography collections.

'Saint Wanderer’s Hospital' series depicts a fictional tale birthed from the artist’s inherent need to find splendour in the idea of sickness.
Rooted first from her own words, Katie used the idea of illustrating as a form of personal art therapy by immersing herself in the realm of the otherworldly characters. Every aspect of each scene was created by Katie alone, from building and designing the sets to printing and hand-colouring the final images. In this act, over the year long course of the projects creation, the artist managed to make certain turmoil in her personal life bearable.
In the world of the hospital, the artist adapts the role of medical photographer – creating accurate portraits of each character’s condition as a record for the hospitals future use.
