Helen Morgan (b.1988, Sydney) is an Egyptian–Australian artist, with a master’s degree in Fine Arts from the National Art School (2021). Her practice spans printmaking and installation, exploring memory, place, and cultural identity. By layering etchings onto traditional mulberry and gampi paper, she creates translucent surfaces that appear to hover and shift in colour, evoking the fluid passage of emotion through time and perception.
