Helen’s practice examines the relationship between the human and more-than human at this critical time. She explores human-nonhuman assemblage where the vitality and energy of materials, natural processes and elements contribute to the making of the work, raising questions about power, agency, interdependence and a ‘de-centering’ of the human, as possibility. She works onsite, immersing herself in the environments she is researching, drawing on a full range of sensory, emotional, and bodily responses to question and communicate the multiple ways we come to ‘know’.
She views her practice as series of encounters, a collaboration with non-humans where she draws on low impact, low-tech processes, using materials from the site in which she is working to explore processes of loss, decay, repair, and renewal. Key themes are associated with materiality, deep time, impermanence, and change, along with broader questions about what is at risk and what is possible.
Helen is an artist and psychologist based in London. She completed her MA, Fine Art Printmaking at Camberwell College of Art, UAL in 2021.
