About
Helen’s practice explores ideas around memory, sense of place and our relationship with the natural world. She draws from a broad range of cultural, historical and literary references to inform her work, with nature writing and poetry giving shape to her thoughts. The process is an organic one that evolves through the lengthy proofing stages with their inherent combination of chance and accident. By knitting together observed elements with remembered and imaginary forms, Helen hopes to articulate something more elusive or unexpected.
