Drawing on the parallels between painting and our relationship to photographic images and processes, Helen Kincaid’s work explores ideas around our anchorage on past and present, meaning and absence, fragmentation and erasure. She’s interested in the increasingly elusive notion of a whole, of seeing the complete picture and the idea that we are only ever dealing with fragments, traces, disconnections and gaps.
Helen works with images of soft furnishings, curtains, wallpaper, upholstery – elements that often boundary our interior spaces. She is interested in how these ‘coverings’ act as a form of screen or veil, a protective but inhibiting barrier to what is beyond view, how their recesses, folds and surface become psychological spaces, timeless micro landscapes, where perspective shifts and the figurative becomes abstracted.
