Helen Cammock is amongst six artists who have been shortlisted to create a memorial to the victims of the transatlantic slave trade in London’s Docklands.
Ripple is a large-scale, circular stone structure, representing the form and idea of a ripple. It's designed as a space to enter, discovering texts that speak to you as you move around. Ripple is a place to reflect and think, to discuss and connect.
“I think of water and its role in the movement of bodies. Ripples carry water, and air. They are a way to understand past action and decision effects, as they move through time. A ripple holds both absence and presence, and is not a ripple without both.”
Cammock sits alongside Alberta Whittle, Grada Kilomba, Khaleb Brooks, Hew Locke and Zak Ové on the shortlist.
