About
Helen's practice explores the complex relationship between the human and more-than-human worlds. She is interested in the importance and power of place over the more abstract ‘space’ and the concept of landscape beyond its geographical facts. Working between painting, drawing and print, Helen’s imaginary vistas emerge through a combination of awe and concern for the natural world. Often depicting isolated huts and solitary figures, they weave together people and place, history and folklore, and a personal sense of what it means to be present in a landscape.
