ABOUT

Helen in Canada

The natural world in all its complexity is at the heart of Helen’s practice. It is an intimacy with the landscape and a sense of embeddedness that she seeks to locate in her work. She is interested in the stories that imbue landscape with meaning and significance, notions of transcendence; where we end and nature begins, and our own emotional geography. Helen meditates on our place within the more-than-human world, exploring narratives from history, ecology and folklore and shaping them with her own embodied experience of nature. She loves maps, birdsong, half-forgotten histories, wild places and getting lost.
