Helen is an artist-printmaker based in Brixham with a background in architecture and garden design. Much of her work is influenced by architecture and the industrial stories embedded in the Southwest — the fishing trade, factories, tin mines and the working coastline. She is drawn to the beauty of what is worn, functional and monumental. That fascination expanded when she encountered the geology of Dartmoor and coastal cliffs: tors, strata and scars carry a quiet but powerful Brutalism that mirrors her affection for stark architectural forms.

As a keen sailor, open-water swimmer and walker, she is deeply connected to the changing conditions of tide, wind and weather. Maps, charts and cartographic marks now flow through her recent work as a way to root each image to its location — a gesture toward both navigation and sense of place.

This Mixed Media piece is based on my printmaking to function as a partner to the print - the rock is a ceramic bas relief on a bed of carved and coloured jesmonite plaster mounted on board. The print is intaglio over printed with blind embosse contours.
