About the practice
Helena Doyle is a multi-disciplinary artist and educator from Ireland working across mediums including installation, aerial sculpture, textiles, video and land art. Drawing from folk crafts and traditional textile practices across diverse cultures, she explores the universal threads that connect them, from shared symbols and ritual to connection to the land. By reimagining these crafts through contemporary waste streams, she explores ideas around material culture, legacy and ecological deep time. She draws on sacred geometry when creating the spatial installation works she refers to as 'soft architecture', exploring themes of sanctuary and the sublime. She believes in crafting as a tool for healing and community building and facilitates workshops and collaborative projects where participants create collective installations together.
