About the Artist

      Who really knows how each individual person perceives a colour? Is my yellow the same as yours? 
      HEX, RBG, CMYK, Pantone, HSL, Munsell’s system and split-colour primaries.  
      Do the cones in my eyes match yours? The settings on your computer change the colour balance of shades that appear on your screen, 
      each one as varied and unique as an individual human life. 
      No two shades on uncorrected monitors are the same. 
      Name and number classifications on unchecked liquid crystal displays seem practically meaningless, no? 

      I pin each shade to its own page, like a butterfly to a board. 
      Removed from its natural habitat, with no other colours to play off of, how does it appear?

     Ellen McGregor is an interdisciplinary artist chasing the transient nature of colour and form. 
     Her practise revolves around nostalgia and curiosity. Through works in installation, the artist 
     seeks to incite a sense of fascination in her viewer, allowing them to touch and explore a narrative. 
     Working with found objects and outdated technology, her work touches on concepts of voyeurism 
     and surveillance. Ellen is based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where she started her practise as a painter. 
     Focusing on colour theory and creating her own oil paints by hand, her work can be read as an 
     expansion on the medium of painting. She also works in printmaking, written word, and with found images.
