Hanging out your laundry

Create surrealism from household objects, with Helga Stentzel

To me, household surrealism is about finding magic in the mundane, seeing beauty in imperfections and connecting to our reality in a new way. I love noticing playful similarities, be it a sweater on a clothing line looking like a horse, or a slice of bread resembling a dog’s head.

It’s only the starting point, though. From this moment, the stories and visuals start buzzing in my head: what will this horse look like? What’s her name and character? Does she like racing? The list goes on! I hope my art will help people connect with their inner child and rediscover the joy of savouring visual delights inside and outside their homes. www.helgastentzel.com
