Ella de Burca

Ella de Burca (1986) is an Irish artist based in Brussels, Belgium. She graduated from the National College of Art and Design, Dublin and is currently doing a practice based PhD at KU Leuven / LUCA.  Ella de Burca works through performance, sculpture and poetry to focus on how humans construct meaning, particularly from a female perspective.
