"The title comes from a beautiful song by @katetempest, be sure to listen." @abcdefghelen Sept 24, 2019
⠀⠀⠀
'Until last year, the stories that Helen was painting on walls all around the world were inspired by her interest in other people’s lives. Through making art, she was learning things she had no experience with before, breaking down the world around her, and understanding it a bit more with each brush stroke.
Helen Bur: “Then I gradually realized that the only way I was receiving all that information was through newspapers, and there is only so much truth you can get from journalistic representations of situations. So I turned it around and started to look inwards. In the last months I painted from personal experiences, which made me reconnect with my work. Now I examine my life first, then what’s around me or what I can have a first time real experience of – and finally I paint about it”'
