Her daily commute has become a very different adventure and exploring the farm's outdoor spaces is evident in her new work.
Inspired by local walks along the West Somerset coast the colours and surfaces of these new stitched, vitreous enamel and copper works reflect on the beautiful rock formations at Blue Anchor and East Quantoxhead, which include Red Marl stone and Blue Lias formations. The local red sandstone is used in almost every building and the colour of the soil is a deep, deep iron red, penetrating everything with its colour, even the wool of the sheep in neighbouring fields. This rich colour is very prevalent in Helen's latest works.
