Created
for Enchantment, Helene Brandt’s sculpture
Charion is inspired by the chariot of Nott,
the Norse Goddess of the Night, who rides across the
sky every evening. With a miniature seat on its back,
Charion appears to be carrying invisible creatures
out of the woods. Brandt transforms welded steel tubing
into a structure that looks like it was created from
scavenged roots. Charion is elegant and graceful
recalling her earlier training as a dancer and her interest
in feeling the movement inherent in the object as she
creates it.
Several of Helene Brandt’s recent exhibitions
