About

Through the lens of discarded domestic debris and everyday routines, Ellen Dempsey investigates the politics of the home. She plays with our familiar/strange relationship to the everyday by creating sculptural assemblages from commonplace cast-offs that challenge the neutrality of the spaces we occupy.

Dempsey was born and raised in Nashville, TN.  She studied Sculpture and Printmaking at Middle Tennessee State University and received her MFA in Sculpture from the University of Memphis.  Dempsey is a full-time Instructor of Art at Columbia State Community College and resides with her family in Florence, AL.
