Eleanor Qull - [Alias Eleanor Tullock, Delano Roosevelt] is a maker, sound artist, and Australian exile based in California and the western states.
After graduating with a Master of Architecture in Design, Eleanor has put formal design training under scrutiny and intense stretching  - to experiment with free-form creative practice in experimental audio, sculpture, writing and theoretical inventions. This has included large scale projects such as ‘Flog’ (an architecture magazine), the Graham Foundation supported ‘Never Discuss Politics at Home’ (an attempt to make architecture TV) and a daily practice of making objects both small (dueling gloves, horns, instruments) and large (a 40 ft X 28 ft hand painted kabuki drop curtain, ‘The Mountain’ for a performance in the Festival of New Works, Red Cat Theatre 2021).
She moved to the Western states to explore the complex intersections between the landscape, the built world, ecology, and diverse, and sometimes secret, communities.
