About Helen

I'm drawn to blogging as a way to share ideas and consider what makes us who we are. Whether it's in our working life or our creativity, expression is a means to connect.

The Others – Seven

Posted on June 22, 2015 by Helen

As simple as that. She just disappeared. One minute she was doing her job, as clear and present as I am right now, the next she was sort of flowing in and out of focus like a hologram that was … Continue reading →

Animation – Seven

Posted on June 19, 2015 by Helen

I am watching him talking with a friend. They have met at the doorway to his favourite café – now mine (I even go later in the day and sit at the same table, the same seat and drink coffee … Continue reading →

The Others – Six

Posted on June 15, 2015 by Helen

I would have thought she was George’s type. He liked them dark, small and slim, like they might almost disappear with a strong gust of wind. He liked a fragile looking face, like hers. I often wondered if George was … Continue reading →

Animation – Six

Posted on June 12, 2015 by Helen

One morning I was running late to the balcony. I am a creature of habit so this could have been disconcerting, but even my timing was now more governed by my elusive distant love. He rarely came to the café … Continue reading →

The Others – Five

Posted on June 8, 2015 by Helen

Animation – Five

Posted on June 5, 2015 by Helen

The Others – Four

Posted on June 1, 2015 by Helen

Animation – Four

Posted on May 29, 2015 by Helen

I first saw him over four months ago, a full month before I would understand what I had begun. I live in a comfortable, almost sprawling apartment. There is a cosmopolitan piazza below. Every morning at 9.30 I light a … Continue reading →

The Others – Three

Posted on May 25, 2015 by Helen

Animation – Three

Posted on May 22, 2015 by Helen
