Mordacage Demonstration

Originally from Bulgaria, Ellie Ivanova is a fine art photographer based in Dallas / Fort Worth, TX. With a background in literature, her photographic interest is the human experience articulated through memory and the self-fashioning of identity. Ellie works in both traditional and experimental photography formats to produce photographic objects that allow the image to evolve and shift beyond its capture by the lens, using processes such as mordancage, embedded photograms, stitching, ripping and printed surface deformation. Ellie's photographs have been exhibited throughout the United States at SohoPhoto Gallery, Lightbox Photographic, Craighead Green, PhotoPlace and PhotoSpiva, among others, and are part of the permanent collections of Human Rights Art at South Texas College and of Fort Wayne Museum of Art. Ellie is currently pursuing an MFA in studio art at the University of North Texas. In 2013 she was honored with the SPE national student award.
