Helen Britton has been the Artist in Residence at the Bengel Foundation in Idar-Oberstein and working in the Bengel Factory and at the University of Applied Sciences in Idar-Oberstein, Germany since this past October. Through researching classic raw stone materials of this region and those transported here from her homeland Australia, along side the possibilities offered by the fashion jewelry making machines of the Bengel factory, Britton is laying down the foundations for a completely new body of work.
The residency ends in december with an exhibition at the Bengel Foundation starting the 9th of December.
