Seth Ellis
Assistant Professor of Art
Digital Design
Seth Ellis received his BA from Yale University, and his MFA from Columbia University. Before coming to UNCG in 2003 he worked as a website developer for seven years, a practice he continues now through professional consulting.
His work is primarily an exploration of visual text, usually, but not always, in narrative. The final form of these projects is usually physical—digital prints and artist's books—but the process behind them uses dynamic structures and computer programming, to determine the shape and nature of both image and text. The text is often highly symbolic or allegorical in nature; in thinking about visual text Seth draws heavily on medieval sources and the tradition of illuminated manuscripts.
