Helen Stark ARTIST STATEMENT Through the medium of glass, I am exploring the cyclical nature of the natural world and the eternal cycle of birth, death and renewal. Destruction and devastating loss of lives caused by wildfires during the recent extreme weather events in the northern hemisphere summer was a painful reminder of the temporality of life. During the Australian Black Summer of 2020, bushfires consumed everything, wreaking damage and leaving many homeless. Forests were scarred by flames and branches denuded of greenery. The intense heat of the bushfire is replicated in the kiln as the glass is transformed from solid to liquid and then back again. ARTIST BIOGRAPHY Helen Stark is an emerging glass artist living and working in Ngunnawal and Ngambri Country (Canberra.) With colour and light and through the medium of kiln-formed glass her practice explores the cyclical nature of the natural world. She recently graduated with a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Honours) from the Australian National University School of Art and Design. In 2022, she won the ANCA Emerging Artist Support Scheme (EASS) <strong>Exhibition</strong> Award. Within my sculptural objects, shifts of tone and hue are an expression of the dynamic movements of the natural world. While the organic curves within loops symbolise the flow of time and the unity of all things. Black voids fall away to represent the destruction of forests and loss of homes. Green shapes rising up depict renewal—the healing power of nature and eternal life.
