Ellie Laycock

Ellie Laycock is an artist and musician working under the alter ego Eleanor Else. WIFEY — the cover artwork for her debut single — depicts a hand gripping a steaming iron, adorned with a gold ring spelling out its instruction. Laycock draws together themes of labour, ownership and performance in work that is at once visually seductive and deeply uncomfortable, echoing broader concerns about the roles women are expected to inhabit.
