‘Taking Up Space is an amalgamation of the work Ellsquared – Ella Matthew’s and Elisa Sallis – have made during their time at The Royal Standard as our 22/23 LJMU Poly-Residency Artists.
Focusing on the domestic, they’ve independently created pieces which, once combined in the gallery, reflect the relationship between spaces we occupy and the items we accumulate over time. Sculptures depict objects which they’ve taken from studio to studio, alongside familiar household items, to investigate how the context of said-objects changes when they’re removed from their original homes and brought into a new space’
