Ella Webb’s Geological Diagrams

December 8, 2017 by Mariabruna Fabrizi Leave a Comment

London based artist and illustrator Ella Webb created a complex visual universe starting from two specific inspirations, geology and topography. Reduced to very simple forms and a neat palette of colours, her small drawings oscillate from almost abstract compositions to surreal takes on almost scientific explorations. Series of mountain sections, stratigraphies, axonometric projections of geological phenomena are carefully arranged to compose pages of charts. The resulting diagrams don’t correspond anymore to any specific information, but make sense only because of their visual value.
