Eleanor Morgan

Dr Eleanor Morgan is a Senior Lecturer in Fine Art at the School of Design and Creative Arts, Loughborough University. Her practice spans sculpture, printmaking, performance, and video, focusing on human-animal relationships and ecological interdependence. She holds a doctoral degree from the Slade School of Fine Art and UCL Department of Anthropology. Recent grants include the Leverhulme Prize in Visual Art (2024), AHRC funding, and an Arts Council DYCP grant for ecology-focused work.

Her research explores materials and processes across species, exemplified by her book Gossamer Days (2016) on spider silk history and exhibitions like Tale of the Frozen Bits (2023), which examines fertility and ecological entanglements. Collaborations include the Printers’ Symphony collective and projects funded by Artquest and Daiwa grants. She serves on the editorial board of Printmaking Today.

Awards include the Leverhulme Prize and recognition for her Serpentine Gallery-commissioned film Have you had a productive day? (2023). Upcoming projects involve a Leverhulme-funded exploration of animals that eat art, blending artistic practice with multispecies inquiry.
