Helen Sargeant – Maternal Journal
I had a go at the Maternal Journal guides and they are so much fun, I highly recommend you try them out too and they are all FREE to access online.
Higher Riser
In Higher Riser I collaborate with my eldest son Sydney to re-imagine Sylvia Plaths poem You’re as rock song. Plaths words use the metaphor of bread rising to represent the womb of the pregnant narrator.
Yorkshire Art Loop
As part of the Yorkshire Art Loop exhibition at the Pop Up Art Space in Bradford, I will be exhibiting a series of Digital Prints based on Facebook friends pregnancy cravings. This collaborative project is the result of 33 artists visual responses to a poem by Ian Mcmillan.
“Helens book give-away”
Article in Todmorden News and Hebden Bridge Times about being a giver of The World's Wife for World Book Night.
The World’s Wife books arrive for World Book Night
Today I collected my box of books for World Book Night.
World Book Night Giver
I have been selected to give away 48 copies of "The Worlds Wife" by Carol Ann Duffy for World Book Night on the 5th March.
Tartattallee
Tartattallee was made by repetitively typing out the poem Sheep in Fog by Sylvia Plath, and then reading out and recording the re-typed poem with all its typo's included.
Land poem song
Sargeant sings a version of Aretha Franklins’ I say a little prayer. A song of loss set in a suburban landscape. A woman’s identity disintegrates into her environment as she reflects upon a failed relationship.
