At the core of Hamilton’s practice is the drive towards phenomenological understanding and an experiential challenging of the world around her.  She does this to challenge her perception and accepted ‘truths’.  Creating work which is about being in the moment, being present.  Her aim is to uncover the potential and latent energy in a single moment and through doing this challenge how we perceive our realities both sonically and visually in our contemporary fast-paced and ephemeral lifestyle.

Atmospheres are central to her work, using immaterial materials alongside everyday objects, setting up paradoxes between the intangible and physical, and the visual and affective.  Through subtle manipulations of these materials she aims to challenge perspectives, inspire new imagining and facilitate situational awareness. The underlying process of this work is repetition,  and exploring the expressive and meditative effects that occur with repeated acts. Through repetition she accentuates the themes of the everyday and simplicity, using them to construct atmospheres and immersive environments.

Helena Hamilton is an artist who works both visually and sonically. She draws on aesthetics of simplicity - and this is expressed in minimalist forms in her work. Influenced by sonic compositional techniques such as phasing and repetition, Hamilton explores the visual through the sonic and vice versa. Exhibited media include sculpture, installation, drawing, new media, performance and sound.
