Helen Kocis Edwards ‘Kindred’
Exhibition Dates: August 6th – 17th 2024
Opening night Thursday 8th Aug 5.30 – 7.30 pm 2024
Helen Kocis Edwards explores human/nature relationships through imagery reminiscent of storybooks and fairy tales, referencing the history of this integration within fables. The work seeks to disrupt the human/nature binary by interweaving and connecting figures, man-made and natural elements.
An experimental, organic, layered print process of monoprinting using native leaf species and cut-out stencils from discarded plastic integrates the pieces, creating a dialogue between the parts.
Kindred poses the notion that this interconnectedness has reciprocal and beneficial effects; physically, emotionally and environmentally.
