Helena Westra
Cooler Room Artist in Residence
July 3 to August 26 2023
About Helena's Residency at Art Produce:
My project will be research and experimentation based. I am excited to deepen my understanding of native clays and pit firing ceramics to explore the idea of the controlled burn and the processes of letting go and self-reclamation. I plan to sculpt symbolic forms with clay that resonate with my experience. In doing so, I hope to grow my creative intuition as an artist and individual.
