Artist Information for Helena Scheffer
|
Working with colour and texture is what drives my creative process. In my latest series of abstracts called “Colour Explosions,” I sift through piles of fabric that act as my palette, carefully snipping off just the right piece. I dye, paint, stamp and print many of the fabrics myself, revelling in the serendipity of creating never-to-be-repeated hues and patterns on vintage and other textiles. The intricate machine stitching adds another layer of complexity to each textile piece. My inspiration comes from nature, life events, and colour itself.
