Helena’s work arises from the belief that the imagination is repressed by, and out of balance with the world we live in, and that both the self and the imagination are at odds with reality.
Her work is an attempt to bring the imagination back into reality, to make it exist as a real live visible tangible entity, and to create a means in which to communicate the difficulties the self and the imagination encounter in the face of reality. Helena is delighted to receive the Artsadmin Bursary and will be using it to embark on a period of further development. It will allow her to take a break from producing and showing work in order to focus on her practice.
