Elle Brown (b.1999) is a stone carver, working from her studio space at Trenoweth quarry, Mabe. Limestone and soapstone (along with a variety of different stones) are her primary materials. Brown’s work emerges from instinctual, direct carving while exploring the female form. The sculptures become discreet abstracts of the body.
Elle has worked on sculpture projects both nationally and internationally and exhibited her work across the UK. As well as continuing studies by starting an online MA in fine art at central saint martins.
