Make sure you pop along to Room 6 at the Harwich Arts & Heritage Centre this May for a stunning new exhibition from eve spencer – Where Art Meets Design. Open throughout May and Early June. 10am to 4pm weekdays.
eve spencer is a British Art and Design house founded in the Art districts of East London by Central Saint Martins Fine Art graduate Helen Spencer.
Its studio is now based in Harwich and you can see a sample of its applications in our ‘Room 6’ exhibition.
The design house finds its voice and expression in the suspended animations, oscillations, formations, witticisms, and riotous, untamed story telling of nature.
The Artist behind the application: Helen Spencer
My practice; as an explorer and storyteller, I hunt out magic and pause. How instinctive and involuntary it is. You can find it anywhere you seek it. I look to create something disruptive, arousing, otherworldly, engaging the sublime and the beautiful, surreal and visceral.
I’m fascinated by the anatomy of things, patterns and nature itself. What it is to be human and alive.
‘IMAGINATION AND INVENTION MAKES THINGS VISIBLE’ I like breaking the rules, departing from the truth, imagining another reality, one where hawks carry cats off into the skies, where animated things are suspended mid air. A place where houseflies are regimented in sequence, order and uniform. A world that immediately encapsulates and ignores nature; bends fact and borrows from fiction, where anything goes. A world that throws expectation, calls it into question. A space where you confront things that might horrify, frighten or confound you but equally, delight, warm and make perfect sense.
