Helen Gallogly
I am a Visual Artist specialising in Textiles and surface pattern, making screen printed and mixed media Artworks within gallery and site-specific contexts. My role is to form inventive and engaging works which explore narrative and the layers of experience from within the site they occupy.
My interests are very much rooted in the past; from folk tales and ghost stories, to historic sites and buildings, museum collections and found objects. With an interest in storytelling, I build narrative threads through my design work, finding relationships between elements of research, I form inventive visual responses to engage with audiences and encourage new connections with locations and spaces.
Growing up around an antiques & second hand furniture shop, our family home was filled with curiosities and collectables of all kinds. My love of objects and artworks from past eras grew from this exposure and the interest and influence has never left me.
I work from my studio in Comrie, Perthshire.
