World On Stilts, 2009, Helen Edling
Helen Edling’s work is concerned with ideas of play and improvisation, working in a range of mediums from drawing, sculpture, and interactive marionettes to outdoor interventions and theatrical site-specific work. This multidisciplinary approach has evolved out of experimentation with found or easily accessible materials intertwined with a will to learn and to appropriate new ideas and concepts.
Helen Edling also references theatre and the circus, interested in social systems and interpersonal hierarchies she aims to create open ended narratives and alternative orders which places the viewer in the centre, becoming the narrator, the director or the puppet master.
