Collection: Helen Sinclair : Sculptor : Rhosili

Sculpture has been my livelihood and my life for over 30 years and it still feels like an extraordinary privilege to be able to make a living from doing something so richly fulfilling. Although not the only subject I work from, the human form is the one I keep coming back to: the actual figure and the figure as depicted by other artists in any medium and at any phase in history.

Most of my work is cast (in either stone-resin or foundry-cast bronze) and I model the originals in mixed media: plaster, clay, wax, cardboard, paper, resin, wood.  The materials I work with are as stimulating to me as the subject matter.  I live by the sea and collect driftwood, discarded plastic debris and other beach-found ‘stuff’ all of which regularly introduce new and unexpected vocabulary. With the help of my technician who has worked with me for three decades, I cast my resin work in my own workshop.  My bronzes are cast at MB Fine Art Foundry in Pembrokeshire.
