Helena Tuudelepp

I live and work in Tallinn, Estonia. I’ve earned a MA of Arts at Estonian Academy of Arts in 2018, majoring in ceramics. I am a member of Estonian Ceramics Association. Nowadays my favorite medium is paperclay. I observe the transformation of material during drying process - its movement, development of unique character and various shapes of details. I develop conversation with material, gather emotions, and tie those to sculptures or installations. Most of my works remain unfired, giving me a possibility to reuse the material in my next works. I have opportunity to choose in what form and how long my work exists - does my work need to maintain in physical form or just let the ideas arise, take form and fade away - like dried up caly meeting the water again.
