Mediums Used

Scrap metal, Up Cycled Scrap metal,

Many Scottish artists are known for the discipline of looking and drawing and for their closeness to nature. This could not be more true than in the work of Helen Denerley who lives close to the land surrounded by empty roads. Even within the bounds of her unforgiving medium she creates an apparently effortless line as rich as the best charcoal drawing. Helen`s work also has a great humanity, optimism and an enduring appeal. The purity of Helen`s sculpture can only be diluted by whisky, laughter and the courage to dream.

Biography

Helen Denerley Lives and works in Aberdeenshire, with 27 years experience, concepts and ideas are all my sculptures are. Made from scrap metal using relics of the horse-drawn day of agriculture alongside discarded modern machinery. Some of the parts have been hand-made by blacksmith and used to farm the land until they are worn out. In Strathdon I am surrounded by life, people, plants animals and birds, all living within the cycle of the changing seasons. This combination of material and subject becomes my sculpture, breathing new life into old metal
