Eunice by Helen Elizabeth

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 and collaborations with non-humans, exploring processes of loss, decay, repair, and renewal with key themes are associated with materiality, deep time, impermanence, and change.

Helen is an artist, activist and psychologist based in London. She exhibits her work regularly in London and is a member of Women Eco Artists Dialogue, Ecoartspace, Carbon-Borders-Voices and Regroup Collective.
