RSA Annual Exhibition
Every year the Annual Exhibition Convenor invites a number of artists to show work in the Annual alongside our Academicians' and selected works from the public.
One of Wendy McMurdo RSA’s invited artists is Helen de Main. Helen is a visual artist who uses her practice to investigate contemporary and historical depictions of women's lives. She frequently collaborates with archives and collections, employing materials from these sources in her practice. Working across printmaking and sculpture, she often combines the two mediums, printing directly onto various surfaces, including paper, fabric, glass and acrylic.
We caught up with Helen during install week to hear more about her work, We Want the Moon.
📆On view from Saturday 11 May
