Artist Helen Mirra creates works that explore the relationship between the natural world and the everyday lives and activities of the people who live in it. Aesthetically minimalist, her works deploy repetition and a large range of reference, in order to emphasize labor and the meditative aspects of experience. ‘Edge Habitat Materials’ published coincidentally with the exhibitions at Hourly Directional, Cambridge MA and Edge Habitat, Lisbon, 2014, brings together all the artwork created by Mirra between 1995 and 2009, accompanied by disparate texts. For example, Bradin Cormack situates Mirra’s walks- which she then indexed in overlapping exhibition- within the context of literary engagements with walking.
