Helen Eastham

Intrinsic connections to people and outdoor spaces are the driving force behind my work. My sculptural kiln formed vessels act as talisman to the past, present and future. They enable me to bring the outdoors indoors by way of their designs. I abstract away from the original inspiration, deconstructing and reorganising certain elements with the distinct intention of creating a sense of place within the work. The underlying recurring influences in my work are the shoreline, and coast, where the topography, crustaceans, pebbles, waves or rock-pools have been the starting point for the resulting artforms.
