HELENA HAMILTON IS INTERESTED IN REPETITION AND IN THE EXPRESSIVE AND MEDITATIVE EFFECTS CREATED BY REPEATING ACTS. SHE WORKS IN A RANGE OF MEDIA AND OFTEN UTILISES NEW TECHNOLOGIES, BUT DRAWING IS A CORE PART OF HER PRACTICE. SHE USES DRAWING AS A TOOL TO EXPLORE THE PHYSICAL AND SONIC WORLD AROUND HER AND TO CHALLENGE HOW WE PERCEIVE OUR REALITIES.
