About the artist

Helen Marten (b. 1985, Macclesfield) works across sculpture, painting, video and writing to create a body of work that questions the stability of the material world and our place within it. Alluding to ideas, systems and experiences, her work across all media sets out to articulate complex ideas about the way in which we exist in and understand the world around us. In 2016 she was awarded the Tate Turner Prize.
