SHROUD for A SHORT FUZE

By  Helen Snell 2014

Helen Snell

As artist in residence at the National Museum of the Royal Navy, Helen has had access to the extraordinary archives across the Museums. As a response to the collection of cannon, big guns, mines, torpedoes, modern missiles, Helen has reflected on the human stories behind these chilling objects to question the sometimes irreconcilable contradictions that shape the call of duty. A SHORT FUZE is a site inspired exhibition of wall based work and sculptural installations set in the galleries and 18th century Museum buildings at Explosion.
