Eelko Moorer is an artist-designer who crafts ideas into artefacts. His work investigates the interplay between the (trans-) personal experience, methodologies and processes of making, and their relations to the meanings that these designed objects evoke and invoke. 

What do the viewer and user experience? What are the emotional energies stimulated by and projected onto objects when they are opened up to more than one interpretation? 

He sees the combination of hand-making and allegorical references in the works as a form of “the craft" that shapes both maker and user.

Humour is employed as a stylistic device to induce joy and emphatic effect. This enhances dialogue between object, user and its place in culture.

In this way the craft element in his work is both linguistic and experiential.

Moorer has worked on a variety of commissions and consultancy. His practice and output include designs for industry, bespoke and catwalk pieces, interior design objects for galleries, installation, performance, to short film as well as lectures and workshops on the creative process of conceptual and critical thinking.

His work has been exhibited internationally in places such as The Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, MAD Paris, FIT New York, Saatchi Gallery London and with the British Council and Design Museum London, and commissioned by companies, galleries and individuals.

Moorer is currently living and working in London and Course Leader for MA Footwear at the London College Fashion.
