In her vibrant yet gritty photographs of ordinary objects, Helen Shearwood explores various themes including the power of perspective, the beauty available in everyday life and the freedom to be found in losing labels and re-assessing with ‘new eyes’.
Helen’s close-up abstract photographs, which form the basis of her art, tangibly demonstrate the beauty available in every moment whilst challenging existing definitions, allowing for new experiences of the familiar.

“My initial discovery of beauty in the most unexpected of places sparked a long-lost desire to explore and reassess, by posing a simple yet profound question: ‘Is it a rubbish bin or is it art?’; opening me up once again to a world of wonder and infinite possibilities.”
