Tajah Ellis explores the regenerative mechanisms of intuitive chemistry, organic mapping and biological emergence through the growth, decay and circulation of various natural materials. Her work with bio-materials and ecological excavation for dyes and pigments transforms plant matter into a vibrant range of colors, textures and patterns, creating the signature of her garment constructions and fiber installations. As a recent attendant of Waag Institute’s Fabricademy, Genspace’s Artist in Residence, and NEW INC’s Creative Science Cohort, Tajah’s practice has deepened it’s dedication to Afro-Indigenous continuity and alternative calculating systems through her research with algae, logwood and crystals, rooted in chemical transfiguration by drawing from rituals of antiquity into extended future formations.
