The workshop of Pure Brass Neck (aka Ellen Wilson) is a place like no other – where dismembered plastic gorillas topple over giraffes without bodies, skeletons threaten to commit suicide and Jesus body pops in the corner…but this peculiar scene is created in the name of truly striking and dramatic pieces that don’t take themselves too seriously.
After graduating from North Glasgow College in 2009, winning the course prize along the way, Ellen was employed in the workshop at Brazen Studios. After leaving to work on Pure Brass Neck designs,she now spends much of her time chopping up (plastic) animals and melting (silver) skulls in her own workshop in Glasgow’s west end.
