HELEN SEAR In Her Own Words

In 2010 our gallery artist, Helen Sear, was awarded the prestigious Major Creative Wales Award from the Arts Council of Wales. It's given to artists living and working in Wales, who have demonstrated excellence in their artistic practice.

The award is designed to enable the recipients to dedicate a sustained period of time to their artistic practice, and requires the development of new work. 

The video below is the interview undertaken for the award, where Helen Sear talks about her practice as a whole, and more specifically the key elements that inform the conceptual framework of her artworks. She also provides some insight into the inspirations behind Pastoral Monuments, currently showing at the gallery.
