About Me
- capitel "h"
- Cofounder of the design firm hipposchemes, helga currently has soft sculptures at the South Seattle Community College Gallery and Gallery 1412. This year she collaborated with Maureen Whiting for the Seattle Dance Project and is creating costumes and set elements for Maureen Whiting Company's "Myth of Me and You" for Lucia Neare’s "Lullaby Moon" in the spring. She has also worked with Seattle choreographers Ricki Mason (Launch Dance Theater) and Kristen Tsiatsios (Glassbones), and has participated in the Smoke Farm Summer Art Festival in both 2008 and 2007. Her work also includes private commissions, such as a wedding gown made in the summer of 2007 and costumes for Queer Electro Sex Hop pioneers Scream Club. helga’s commitment to sustainable design embraces the use of recycled and scavenged materials, which contribute a sense of uncomfortable familiarity to her work. With a keen eye for the unexpected, helga tugs at the seams of convention, bringing forth the creative potential of mundane reality.

Hey, I like your stuff!
I'm a stop-motion animator just browsing the blogs, and noticed you're from Seattle- I was born there! 31 years ago. Live in Portland now, but hope to go back someday. Very different atmosphere. People there seem more amiable.
So anyway, I have some questions about the media you work with- Do you have any experience with polymer clays? I'm asking around in the hopes that someone knows how to keep it soft for animation with some sort of oil or something.
Hey, nice to meet you!
ooooo looks nice hangin' up there with the arrows about to enter the gaping portal. fine work! and i really admire that you rode your bicycle all the way out to smoke farm! heroic helga!
