Helen Walsh/ Winter Issue

Helen Walsh is an Artist and Creative Practitioner living on the beautiful Solway Coast. Specialising in drawing and textiles, in particular embroidery, she is continually fascinated by the natural world and our connection to it. She is particularly interested in birds and their feathers and uses them as symbols in her work to explore the human desire to transcend. Working predominantly with natural fibres Helen finds herself consistently drawn to traditional textile skills such as embroidery and natural dyeing and enjoys the connections with the often forgotten makers of the past that working this way gives her.
