Helen’s work in theatre inspires much of her current artistic practice, seeking to capture dramatic tension in moments of stillness and movement. In some cases, her prints derive directly from productions she has worked on, for example this year’s selected work, ‘Such Shaping Fantasies’ from ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’. In other cases, their origins are more oblique. A chorus might emerge through various processes - soft grounds textured with lace, or aquatints reaching for the right play of shadow and light. The figures in her work wear a combination of fantastical costumes with Victorian or Elizabethan flourishes - ruffs, fans, crinolines - combined with modern touches like platform shoes. They belong out of time, like theatre characters, processing towards an indeterminate off-stage space, or parading together for comfort. She has lately been adding monoprint to her techniques, particularly to help develop ideas and add fluidity into her work. An example of this is her homage to Velasquez, ‘Through the looking glass’ in this year’s Director’s Cut. Helen has exhibited widely including at the Master's Etching exhibition (curated by Norman Ackroyd), Pillow Talk at the Tate Modern, and The Royal Society of British Artists. She is delighted to be exhibiting at The Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair for the fourth year running.

  • Our pioneering exhibition model of 50% specialist galleries and 50% independent artists is unique in supporting artists who may not have the opportunity to show in an international art fair which generally rely on gallery representation. 

    WCPF's global art platform hosts an open call that gives artists the cchance to have their work reviewed by a panel of leading industry experts, with successful artworks going on to show in the Fair's 'Curated Hang' section alongside celebrated names and work from renowned galleries. 

    This exposure provides further opportunities for artist awards, prizes and residencies, to significant acquisitions and gallery representation.

  • Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair only deals in original prints and does not work with reproduction prints which are copies of other artworks, and where the term 'print' can be misunderstood.

    An ‘Original Print’ is a work of art that was conceived as a print in its first instance, as opposed to a reproduction of another original work.

    This means the artist has set about to create a print, whether it is an etching, mono-print, lithograph etc. rather than simply taking a photograph or scan of an existing artwork and printing out a number of ‘reproduction’ prints like a poster. The artist decides on the number of editions within the print run and number each accordingly (eg. 1/30). There is no difference in value between the first and the last print within the edition as each one is an original artwork.

    Once all editions have been printed the matrix is destroyed or repurposed so no others can be made.

    For more information about prints and how to look after them, please visit our About Print page.
