Artist Profile
Helen Seiver
Helen Seiver’s practice explores personal narrative through sculpture, mixed media and installation. She regularly uses found objects and materials, exploring their unique quality of suggesting time, place and era. Making art gives Helen processes to investigate, and a platform from which to talk about things that really matter to her. Seiver’s processes involve long and quite laborious and repetitive processes allowing time to reflect deeply. Helen has work in many public and private collections: Holmes a Court, City of Bunbury, Shire of Mundaring, Horn Collection and has received many awards including a two year Arts Fellowship with Regional Arts Australia.

Helen Seiver – Let’s all sit down and talk
16 Table legs, balanced on concrete Jelly moulds, are presented in the shape and size of a ‘table’. Attached to each leg is a branch of peppermint tree. The branches have been stitched with found blankets. The table legs/jelly mould shapes are used to represent home with blankets for security. The use of concrete represents ‘concrete thinking’ that continues to place our natural environment in jeopardy. ‘Sit’ at my table. How you can contribute to the climate change debate?
