Amy Helfand

New York artist Amy Helfand creates collages and textiles based on garden imagery. Modern Nature showcases the artist's prints, fabrics, and carpets, all inspired by the riotous Wild Garden at Wave Hill, the famed public garden in the Bronx. In her exuberant designs, Helfand juxtaposes the organic and manmade, nature and culture, fantasy and reality. The results are imagined wonderlands comprising site plans and unrecognizable yet distinctly biomorphic forms. Amy’s work as an artist has taken many forms, including photography, sculpture, installation, digital collage and textiles. She received a BA in photography and American Studies from Hampshire College and an MFA from the School of the Art Institue in Chicago.

She will be displaying her work at the Frye Art Museum in Seattle from April 29– July 30
