About The Work
For her Whitechapel Gallery edition, Helen Cammock has created a diptych of silkscreen prints entitled Kaleidoscope. The word Kaleidoscope; meaning a constantly changing pattern or sequence of elements, derives from the Greek words Kalos, meaning beautiful, and eidos, meaning form.
The edition is comprised of two parts; a line-drawing of a landscape, a representation of the natural world, and a concrete text which speaks of the lurches and cycles in architecture, moving towards ever-changing modernity.
For Cammock, the diptych illustrates the fracture between these two worlds - the contradiction of our reliance on a natural world, that we choose to believe will continue to exist without our care and the relative fragility of our constructed world that is destroying it.
