Exploring Embodied Experience presents new work by Halton-based artist Helen Thompson, developed through a CuratorSpace Artist Bursary.
Exhibition December, 2 - January 11
Launch event Sunday December 7, 2pm - 4pm
In Exploring Embodied Experience, Halton-based visual artist Helen Thompson combines layers of mark-making, collage, and subtle figurative drawing to explore sensations, emotions, and subconscious imagery arising through EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) therapy.
The work reflects how trauma is stored within the body, and how these internal states can be translated and expressed visually through an embodied drawing process.
Exhibition Launch event: Exploring Embodied Experience
Sunday December 7, 2 - 4pm
Join Halton-based visual artist Helen Thompson for the opening of her solo exhibition Exploring Embodied Experience, developed through a CuratorSpace Artist Bursary.
Through layers of drawing, painting, and encaustic wax, Helen explores how memory and emotion are held within the body, translating sensations and imagery emerging through EMDR therapy into expressive visual form.
The afternoon will include refreshments and an informal artist walkthrough at 2.30pm, where Helen will share insights into her process and inspiration.
Visitors are also invited to contribute to a collaborative mark-making activity, creating a growing collective artwork that will remain in the space throughout the exhibition.
Free entry — all welcome.
