Ellie Pritts Interview

“i can only bliss out” by elliepritts

Who are you?

My name is Ellie Pritts, I’m a multidisciplinary artist based in Los Angeles.

When did you start making art?

I have been creating art seriously since I was about 14, starting with darkroom photography classes and moving on to more advanced image editing, color processing and finally video work. I also studied music starting at age 9 and continue to play cello and sing for different projects.

Why did you join Hic et nunc?

I joined HEN because so many artists I liked were on there, and I was very captivated by the simplicity of the site and how addictive and fun it was to use.

How did you develop your style?

I feel like my “style” is constantly evolving based on however I am feeling, what tools I have at my disposal, and the subject matter that interests me most at the time.

What about glitch art do you think attracts people?

I think people who are attracted to glitch art love the aesthetic of it; the random qualities and artifacts and things you know can’t be reproduced.

What adds value to your art?

My unique perspective and the nature of the tools I work with make each piece completely unique and unreproducible.

What is the day in the life of a glitch witch?

A day in the life of a glitch witch involved lots of mood lighting and old TV sets.

What do you have planned coming in the future?

I have a new series called “frogeforms” that I will be releasing 25 new pieces for over the next month or so.
