Helen Varela

Helen Prior is deeply engaged and emerged in sculpture, investigating materials to re-purpose in her structures.

Her forms relate to architecture and nostalgia and question the relationship between the two.

She works with salvaged domestic and and industrial materials, such as wood, plastic, fabric and metal. Devoid of their usual function these materials are manipulated to form modernist structures which are deliberately imperfect but still evoke a sense of nostalgia.
