Ella Doran is delighted to announce that the Yorkshire Sculpture Park has commissioned two major homewares collections to celebrate the iconic Park’s 40th anniversary of ‘Art without Walls’. Ella visited YSP throughout the seasons, documenting every aspect through sketched impressions and photography to create two unique ranges inspired by the Park’s 500-acre landscape. ’Through the Camera Lens’ includes photographs of the 18th-century historic landscape – including a canopy of leaves and tactile tree bark – applied to a tea towel, tote bag, apron, cushion, trays and mugs, whilst ‘Brushstrokes’ is a distinctive textile design, mirroring the movement of the lakes and plant life growth at YSP. The ‘Brushstrokes’ palette is inspired by the colours of YSP, including Stone Wall Chapel, Autumn Leaf and Maple Leaf with Sunlight.

I used to roam around my dad’s wood workshop in West Yorkshire, terrorising his colleagues and making wooden sculptures. I’d accompany him to the demolition sites of the old mills of Manchester and Leeds that were being pulled down; everything within the mills was meant to be burnt, however, he’d salvage wood, bobbins, and cast iron objects and use the materials to make floors and furniture out of the reclaimed timber and other items. The idea that you could make something out of nothing interested me.

I work with developers, designers, and other creatives to create stand-out visual identities, websites, and marketing.
