Working both within and against these frameworks, Elle formulates strategies for alternative models of education systematically applying her concept of Diagonal Practices. Her making includes object installation, collaborative events, performative lectures, and interventions that unsettle the notion of archive through spatial exploration, participation, and the disruption of academic language. She holds a PhD investigating alternative art school spaces and serves as a Non-Executive Director and Board member of TOMA (The Other MA), an alternative art school in Southend-on-Sea, Essex. Elle is currently Programme Leader of the Graduate Diploma in Art at Goldsmiths.
