Helen is a visual and socially engaged art practitioner/researcher based in Stourbridge, West Midlands, who is studying for a Masters in Research (creative practice) at Shetland and Orkney colleges. Her work is primarily concerned with place and the in-between; natural, cultural and historical landscape, interconnectivity and social relations, with a particular interest in that which is commonplace but unnoticed, overlooked or seemingly insignificant.
