A new annual program, ‘WA Focus’ is dedicated to displaying recent and new work from Western Australian artists across a range of mediums, experience and gender.
Helen Smith’s practice spans painting, photography and site-specific installation that incorporates a minimalist approach to geometric forms, while reflecting her interest in social and cultural systems. Her working method is the same across the various media she employs and derives from her view of each work as a container for the idea.
