Alex Vellis (they/them) is a Greek-British artist specialising in poetry and installation. They hold an MA in Creative Writing and are Open School East alum. Vellis’ work questions liminality, ergodic literature, the benthic, identity, place, and presentation. Their practice focuses on the process rather than the product; pulling away from typical artistic spaces to engage with more accessible areas.  Alex has performed nationally and internationally as a poet, in cities such as Paris, London, Oxford, Valletta, and Tallinn. Their work as an artist both individually and as part of a collective has been displayed in Dunkirk, Canterbury, Margate, and Cambridge. In addition to performance and installation work, Vellis delivers lectures at universities and festivals on events production, being a working-class artist, and poetry in the larger sphere.Their next books, The Last Bird On The Balcony & Where the Flowers Grow, will be released in June 2025 through Apoetical & September 2025 through Rebel Satori Press.
