Hill and loom

To Helena Binns, weaving and the landscape are inextricably linked. She has been fortunate to spend her working life in the hills and mountains, and through her handwoven textiles she draws on these experiences.   

Through her pieces, Helena hopes to evoke the feeling of the hills, mountains, sea and rivers – in particular the varying palette of colours seen through the rhythm of the seasons.

Helena carefully chooses natural yarns that are gentle on nature. The sustainable properties of wool, its tactile quality and subtlety of colour are fundamental to her work.

​Her woven pieces are of the land.
