About
Ellis Tim Ringle is a multimedia artist working out of Madison, Wisconsin, Providence, Rhode Island, and Boston, Massachusetts. They are a graduate of Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) with a BFA in sculpture. Their art and aesthetic is a blend of the dark and macabre with the sweet and humorous. With a background in anatomical study and engineering, their work often focuses on technical skills and precision, as well as exploring ideas of beauty, history, and the goth aesthetic. Tim is fascinated by subjects including birds, bones, forensics, decomposition, scoliosis, mechanical motion, apparel, wearable sculpture, their personal history and the natural world. Tim strives for crisp, clean and precise aesthetics, juxtaposed with warm and chaotic maximalism to spark a sense of curiosity in their viewers. They have always had a love for curio cabinets and often showcase them in their work, using collection as a means of storytelling and the building of environments, often employing audience participation and hands-on engagement. Casting, moldmaking, blacksmithing, wood turning, charcoal drawing and digital collage are among their favorite mediums, with a special interest in stop motion animation.
