Germinating and Killing a Seed (Drowning)
This oil painting on linen represents one of the artist’s “lost” objects from her past. Flood sees these objects as displacing a person’s former identity.
Ella Rose Flood’s work centers around acts of mourning and memorialization—as well as the feelings she experienced during the sickness and death of someone very close to her and her own chronic illness. Her paintings serve as records of personally significant moments, objects, and symbols, not to mention agents of emotional catharsis. Flood places her works somewhere between diary entries and worship objects.
