Helen's collections in her portfolio show the depth and breadth of her ceramic work, most of which takes place in her studio, some as part of awarded scholarships or residencies. Place, or environment and space can inform a new line of enquiry, particularly a city, country or culture that can find it’s way into the aesthetic or palette for example. She often develops ideas in the 'here and now’ whilst building on previous processes. Linking physical states and tying her emotions into material form.
