Having trained as a potter, Helen’s work has evolved to place emphasis on the conceptual over functional element of ceramics. Helen creates sculptures which embody a sense of narrative. Each piece within a series explores an element of the story through a change in scale, movement, composition or colour. With a broad source of inspiration from the exaggerated and stylised movements actors employ in silent movies to Mogul and Persian miniature paintings, Helen’s sculptures relate to a single moment where, great or small, events in people’s lives are revealed by a gesture.
