Helen Sear explores ideas of vision, touch and the representation of the nature of experience, combining drawing, lens-based media and digital technologies in her work. For the forester, brisées refer to broken branches or twigs intentionally placed to indicate an area of trees ready for logging activities. The Brisées series developed out of several layers of interest, beginning with a fascination with medical tools and the surgical process overlaid upon the demarcation of timber. Sear s black-and-white images of ellipses overlaying scenes of trees, many with telltale ropes, obfuscate our perceptions of what lies underneath through their negative filtering of reality.
