Pilar Corrias wishes Helen Johnson a very happy birthday! ‘Sorry and thankyou’ (2022) is from a new body of work that Johnson produced in conjunction with her training as an art therapist in a hospital's psychiatric unit. Unconscious processing comes to the fore as both subject and process, and much of the imagery in the series began as drawings Helen produced whilst facilitating or observing art therapy groups. Her work reflects upon the ways we figure our being in the world – our social relations that at times are simultaneously nurturing and extractive, inquisitive and vulnerable. The actual and the real – what we experience of the world on a conscious level, and the unbearable force that lies beneath the surface. — Image: Helen Johnson, 'Sorry and thankyou', 2022.
