Dissociation

“Helena focuses on things we might never have noticed before. In Dissociation, she presents a compilation of her works from the last 10 years to the present. The series of paintings results from a multi-step process, where she uses mold-making techniques to capture textures from various materials found in the places she’s been. These textures, mostly from industrial materials, are reproduced with high fidelity and cast in acrylic paint, which serves as the medium for the final work. Her methodology combines complex mold-making techniques, requiring extensive technical knowledge, with intuitive, almost outsider aesthetics and methods. This makes both rational and intuitive approaches equally important.”
