Object Narratives

Material exploration is central to Helena's work, particularly how materials layer and interact to replicate natural patterns. Fascinated by natural movements and distortions, Lacy experiments with glazing techniques that mimic the flows of water, lava, and other natural phenomena, using the kiln as a second conductor to balance control and spontaneity. Storytelling is central to her practice, along with a focus on exploring themes of distortion and the contrast between flow and form. ‘Object Narratives’ aims to highlight the connections between natural objects and their environments, using initiative glaze printing techniques to tell their stories. The project emphasises preserving and amplifying the often overlooked details in nature, showcasing the unique histories and narratives within each object.
