Helen S. Tiernan - Two Views, As Above, So Below exhibition catalogue
Helen Tiernan’s new exhibition presents us with different rhythms of the same song. She is an artist eager to impart key messages through her practice, anchored in both her indigenous and European heritage, the experiences and culture equally from her life and her studies of art history. Her artwork is layered, imbued with a meld of indigenous and western learnings and understandings. At its heart, is story-telling, from Aboriginal songlines to western classics and her message is centrally about land, sea and sky – the totality - and about people, identity and place.
The layering of meaning throughout Tiernan’s opus give her paintings a pulsating quality. The recent whale paintings encapsulate her environmental concerns, particularly the pollution of sea country, including noise pollution. The bands across these canvases are representative of this sonic sound pollution; but are also echo waves of communication and indigenous songlines of journey – different rhythms of the same song.
Showing at Lauraine Diggins Fine Art 22 Nov - 19 Dec 2025. Preview the exhibition on our website and download the illustrated catalogue.
