Helen Slater Stokes gained an M.A. from the Royal College of Art (RCA) in 1996 and recently went back to the RCA to complete a PhD by practice in 2021. Helen lectures and has presented research papers at numerous conferences, most recently the Glass Art Society (GAS) Conference 2024, in Berlin. Her work has been selected to be shown in prestigious exhibitiosn such as, The International KOGEI Award 2020, Toyama, Japan, The Bullseye Projects Touring Exhibition: Tg. Transitions in Kiln Glass, 2021-22, The Bulgarian Glass Biennale 2019 and British Glass Biennale 2017, 2019, 2022 and 2024.
Recent work was featured within the ‘New Glass Review 41, by The Corning Museum of Glass and works are held in the Imagine Museum Collection, Florida. These works combine notions of visual perception with themes of change; contemporising the traditions of the landscape and the fabrication of spatial references within art. Titles reference a dialogue around the painterly components of composition and colour, whilst considering our human position in an ever-changing space and place. Organic forms and rhythms, allude to a mindful perception of space, as these virtual, almost holographic, time-based depictions animate and change, in harmony with the observer’s movement
