Derrelle Elijah’s work illuminates the grey areas of vasts amounts of information, as he overlaps gestural and mechanical processes. By developing works that transcend mediums, and re-contextualises how information is communicated. Starting with a function free mentality, an intrinsic overlay of research into early civilisations, universal language, traditional/forgotten processes, art history and contemporary news allows his work to start with an investment into investigation and ideation.
