FAG PACKET GALLERY

Ella Louise Jones, August 2021

Ella Louise Jones' Fag Packets were constructed from beautiful drawings that transformed so shapes slid round corners and drifted apart.

Hidden inside each is a miniature sculpture made from fabric, faux fur and beads. Some contain rattles and noises that can only be revealed through interaction. Inspired by Marcel Duchamp's With Hidden Noise (1916) that now lies silent to protect its fragility, these hand sized sculptures beckon and call out for squeezing, holding and rolling through fingers.

Ella Louise Jones makes art to encourage interaction and connection. Click on the image above to read her brilliant interview with Round Lemon where she discusses her practice, materials and inspiration.

Sculptures within, looking for interaction

This film purposefully has no sound! This is to encourage touching and handling the work rather than revealing its characteristics online.
