PROFILE

Jennifer Helminski
jhelmins@pratt.edu
New York, NY

Jennifer Helminski is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher working across visual symbolism, poetic text, archival inquiry, and ecological ethics. Her practice draws on mythic traditions, manuscript cultures, and somatic perception to explore memory, devotion, grief, and relational intelligence. Moving between scholarship and intuition, she creates work that translates unseen structures into embodied, living forms.
