I went to the preview of Helen Shaddock's solo exhibition at a new gallery venue, 1 Royal Terrace last night. I had come across some of Helen's work before and was immediately drawn to her colourful, painterly installations that dealt with the subject matter of colour, form and texture. Interestingly, Helen is a former sculpture and environmental art student at GSA, graduating in 2008, so it made it all the more relevant to see what SEA alumni get up to after they graduate.

What I find interesting about her work is how her she embraces both order and chaos in the process of her work, resulting in formal and organic structures juxtaposed with painterly, random drips and splashes. In some ways it makes be think about the forms, structures and textures that I have come across in my current project.
