Hilda Hellström’s work looks at the symbolic and emotive qualities of craft and cultural objects and how this relates to time, value, heritage, and our common narrative. Through the use of craft techniques, she conveys natural- and cultural histories alongside personal experiences. She has an intuitive and process driven approach to making and explores her conceptual thinking through a preoccupation in casting techniques and metamorphic aspects of materials. In her bountiful practice, she interweaves fabulation and fabrication, shape and image making.

Hellström graduated from the Royal College of Art, London in 2012 and has since exhibited at Gothenburg Museum of Art, The British Craft Council, Victoria & Albert Museum London, Tramway Glasgow, London Design Museum, Eskilstuna Konstmuseum, Gustavsbergs Konsthall, Kalmar Konstmuseum, Röhsska Museet, Art Basel Miami, Shanghai Power Station Art Museum, Daelim Museum South Korea, Design Museo Helsinki and MUDAC Lausanne, amongst other institutions. Hellström currently lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark.
