emet ezell (b. 1995, Texas, USA) is a visual artist and writer based in Berlin, Germany. Trained under Polish typographer Robert Sawa and fiber artist Sylwia Woźniak-Sęczawa, ezell remains committed to handmade paper and letterpress print. Their work explores themes of devotion, dispossession, ruin, and return.

ezell’s work and research have been supported by the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, European Commission for Culture and Creativity, Berlin Senatsverwaltung, Pedvāle Open Air Art Museum, Vermont Studio Center, and Djerassi Resident Artist’s Program. Winner of the 2021 Gloria E. Anzaldúa Poetry Prize, their writing has been featured in The American Poetry Review, Los Angeles Review of Books, Poetry Daily, and Hand Papermaking Magazine, among other arts-based publications. Their poems have been translated into Latvian, German, Hebrew, and Polish, and their solo-exhibition, Destruction Is and Is Not Forever, debuted last summer in Latvia.

ezell is currently an artist fellow in the 2026 New Jewish Culture Fellowship. They do not use social media; brief updates can be found on their newsletter.
