Watch Helen Gregory make a painting

On Friday evening, an exhibition of St. John's artist Helen Gregory's work opens at The Rooms' art gallery. Unrequited Death is in line with themes that Gregory has been exploring for years, about decay, death, natural history and found beauty. I've gotten to know Helen through the years, and am looking forward to the show. (You have lots of time: It runs until May. The curator is writer Lisa Moore; in February, Gregory will give a lecture on the exhibition.)

Here's a fascinating video on Helen's process, using thousands of images taken in stop-motion fashion, and then speeded up considerably. (And keep an eye on the cats!)

Hi John!

Thanks for posting this. But just to let you know, it's actually me that will be giving the lecture on my work, not Lisa.
