Helen Tuck

Carlisle, Cumbria, United Kingdom

I am an environmental and site orientated artist interested in the idea of language. By layering observational text, scientific data and aestetics (drawing/painting/photography) together, I aim to create a larger if not deeper interpretation for the viewers consideration. I studied Fine Art at Cumbria Institute of the Arts and MA Landscape and Environmental Arts at University of Cumbria. More recently I have combined references to popular culture, literature, documentary text, symbology and specific histories together.

		Ann Isik 3 months It's a small world as they say. Your mother born in Corbridge, like me. I got the acid-free tissue paper from Great Art. It's not expensive. You aren't supposed to put it through a printer as it's too thin, but I abuse all my machines! Ann

		Ann Isik 4 months Hi Helen, I was born in Corbridge and my husband and I had a house near Haydon Bridge for a few years, upon Hadrian's Wall. We shopped in Carlisle. Yes, layering, transparency/opacity are elements. Fragility too - I used acid free tissue paper in my sketchbook. I am going to steal ideas from you: cutwork etc. Have some actually but didn't know what to do with it. I did Fine Art at Newcastle Uni but couldn't 'find my voice' with oil painting. Do you have a web site I can connect with? Ann
		Ann Isik 4 months Thanks for visiting my work Helen. I identify with wax, cut work, the rest ... perceptive is the word. I know Carlisle very well.
