Helen Sear

UK based photographic artist Helen Sear undertook a Fellowship in Jyvaskyla, Finland in 2004.   Developing an interest in the notion of Finnish identity, and in the Finnish landscape she made a series of pieces which are multi-layered. The viewer is given both a subtle and subdued landscape together with the portrait of a person facing away from them. A delicate pattern of lace-like lines allow us to view both these images at once, but this is no computer-generated pattern, on careful examination, it is clear that this is hand drawn with all the frailties and 'errors' so associated.

The body of work Sear produced ‘Beyond the View’ was exhibited in Finland.
