By Helen Hierta

Greenbush, MI

Material: Clay

$4,800

Helen Hierta’s totemic works are inspired by meditations on energy flow, on the evolution of consciousness. In her practice there are metaphysical exchanges of both creation and the encounter, providing for contemplation of how energy is imbued into clay, how the invisible world if made visible. She studies the intangible feelings that flood the body, the life force that signifies place or geography.

Her exploration of thought as a vibration that becomes identity is an examination of humanity’s shared physical and emotional journeys of awakening.

Helen’s totems can be found in public places, sculpture parks, galleries, private collections. They hold space for our shared histories, are messengers of collective consciousness. Her craft is a primitive approximation of the unseen neural pathways, the spiritual science of communication.

Living and working on the shore of Lake Huron, Helen Hierta’s ceramic art draws on decades of experience and study of creativity, spirituality, and natural environments. She enjoys a sense that the medium and its processes are fertile ground for contemplation of how energy is imbued into clay. Helen is compelled to make art that speaks to what the collective soul needs to see and hear from artists who get inspiration from the divine.
