Helen Britton: The Story So Far
Helen Britton is the tenth artist to be named as a Living Treasure: Master of Australian Craft, an initiative of the Australian Design Centre that aims to celebrate the achievements of Australia's most iconic crafts practitioners through a touring exhibition and a major monograph publication. Helen is a multidisciplinary Australian artist based in Munich, Germany. Her practice includes jewellery, sculpture, drawings, stencils and installations, and is informed by popular culture, threatened traditions, environmental destruction and human anxiety.
Between 2017 and 2019 Helen travelled three times to Australia to document the house of her great Aunt and Godmother Kath Carr on the Clarence river (Ngunitiji, Yaegl Country). Helen's detailed photographic investigation was a journey back to the beginnings of her creative practice. The touring exhibition, 'The Story So Far', takes as its starting point this photographic essay creating a network of connections between that time and this. The work comments on the rich and complex world of country women, of a time of creativity and frugality that formed Helen's early experience of Australia, of lost possibility, and of a colonial past and present, still so deeply problematic.
