BONITA HELMER
Artists are visionaries and have an uncanny awareness of societal undercurrents before the rest of the world is aware of them. Helmer’s last series, In the Midst of Chaos (2018), was a response to the intense discord in the world.. Her current series, Change in Velocity (2021), is a response to, and the product of, the enormous upheaval of the last two years. From the vantage point of hindsight, Helmer’s work has an almost eerily prescient view of the world. We were descending into a level of chaos that even artists could not have predicted. We find ourselves now, coming out of the chaos, but with the knowledge that things must change in order for humanity to move forward. READ FULL PRESS RELEASE
