Harriet Hellman
The ceaseless cycle of nature, and a consciousness of deep time is embedded in her making, both physically and emotionally. Her work records her interactions with unfired clay in nature while trying to capture thought, place, space and time.
The physicality of the coastline embeds itself in the clay, layering a new narrative, capturing the energy of the moment. The process of layering, tearing and building with clay creates a visceral response, which is both immediate, performative and meditative.
