WENDY HELLIWELL

"I grew up in the 80’s surrounded by pop culture transmitted through the growing trend in mass media, the instant skin deep pleasure of consumerism quickly engulfed me. But now as a professional artist I am in the same relationship interrogating my motives by ripping and disassembling glossy magazines, packaging, tags, receipts and even unnecessary purchases."

A self-confessed fashionista simultaneously celebrating fashion, culture and colour with her contemporary mixed media artworks, created with a combination of materials, often almost as if painting with torn magazines she depicts 21st century styles, behaviours and identities, often presenting them in 3D form."
