About Helen Kilby Nelson
My work explores identity and (un)belonging from the perspective of a working class, neuro-divergent woman with long term health conditions living in rural Warwickshire. The work is autobiographical, observational and reflective. My work digs deep into the multiple layers of identity and (un)belonging within systems and structures of hierarchy with society and the chain reaction of cause and effect, finding connections and searching for answers. My work is a personal, social and political commentary and reaction to what I see, hear and feel, directly and indirectly. My current work is focusing on the entanglement of how our health informs our inner and outer identity and the push and pull of (non) conformity. I work with a variety of media and have produced photographic, moving image, installation, spoken word, digital, oil, ink, and pastel painting and sculptural art works. I have an acquired brain injury which makes reading and writing problematic if I try and conform to the expected delivery and receival of the written word. There will, therefore, be errors within these pages. These errors are now a part of my identity, they do not detract from my message unless you allow them to.
