After graduating in the 1980’s Helen Wood taught art in secondary schools,before joining Printmaking at the Bradford School of Art as a technician in 1997. Her processes are experimental and address the creative possibilities of the everyday, transforming the ordinary and everyday into the curious and extraordinary.
Sustainability is a word hung on many lips at this moment in time, as the human race struggles to come to terms with its own collective mortality. For some it is a hoax, for others a clarion call to action; but to all it is a question, a debate, an argument to be had. Contemporary Art has for many years looked at the nature of its own creation; the materials used in its production, the life of the object beyond this, and the environmental credentials of the artist as a producer in a world of stuff.
Mo Robertson is an artist whose autobiographical work looks at mental health and social stigma. Both confrontational and confessional it is work that argues for personal growth and societal change.

‘Traumas of The Flesh’ looks at feminist issues and their impact on mental health. For this exhibition Mo Robertson builds an immersive environment containing a series of sculptures made from textiles and casting material.
The exhibition is part of a cathartic process, one in which the artist creates a visual response to personal trauma and aims to raise awareness that many scars lie beneath the surface.
