Helen Grundy
Contemporary Artist
I am an object maker and collage artist. I make work from old photographs, packaging, used envelopes, postcards, magazines, office calculators and much much more. My pieces are hybrids of photography, collage and model making. I want my practice to be environmentally sustainable so I am drawn to collage as it is an art form that has recycling and repurposing at its core. I am excited by imagery that is surreal and explores and references pop culture, the mundane, bureaucracy, social care and the relationship humans have with the natural world. My works have a strong narrative quality and I use humour to explore difficult subject matter. My finished pieces are souvenirs from a world that I have invented. I have exhibited both nationally and internationally and have received funding from The Arts Council to develop my practice. I have works in both private and public collections.
