About Helen Marten

 
 
  • Biography
    Helen Marten (b. 1985, Macclesfield, UK) won both The Hepworth Prize for Sculpture and the Turner Prize in 2016. She trained at Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford, and  Central Saint Martins.

    Often her work consists of dense accumulations of handcrafted objects made from a huge variety of materials – wood, ceramic, metal, leather, plastic and fabrics – which draw the viewer in and play with the relationship between two and three dimensions, making us question our understanding of what sculpture is or can be.
