Born and raised in Vietnam, Helen Tran is a multidisciplinary artist based in Mississauga, Canada. Helen’s body of work ranges from analog film photography, traditional as well as photo-based lithography, intaglio, and a selection of book-art. Tran incorporates printmaking methodology with an array of mixed media within her work, by exploring individual materials that evoke notions of ephemerality and forge these elements through her concept on mourning, healing and cultural rituals. Her current work "If Not Here, Then Where?" is presented in a collective series of woodcut prints and cyanotypes, wherefore she combines the materiality of print, photography, and painting into a unified encaustic narrative. She is a recent graduate in the Printmaking and Publication program with a minor in Photography.
