Through a constant process of observing and memory banking whilst out walking, she collects sensory impressions and visual references using sketchbooks and photography which are later evolved in her studio. Images are drawn, collaged, printed and reworked, adding, subtracting and editing. Details are omitted, gestures and marks added, leaving fragments and impressions remaining. Helen favours techniques and media that are immediate and unpredictable, such as monotype and paper lithography printmaking. This allows a dialogue with the raw materials, responding at each stage to what has gone before. Elements of drawing are added and combined, building compositions and surfaces that leave traces of the creative process visible, bringing importance to the journey as much as destination. The work evolves as an intuitive visual journey of moments and qualities rather than a visual representation, with the intention to inspire or provoke the viewer to their own recollections and introspection. Helens submitted work is part of her ‘Field Notes’ collection, particularly focusing on natures resilience and beauty in the face of encroaching humanity.
