Helena Sanders
ABOUT
I am a painter, installation artist, and maker of things, living and working in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, a transplant from South-East region of the US.

I am constantly exploring the chaos and ambiguity that lies along borders -- borders between countries, between human and non-human, borders between viewer and participant -- which shapes and re-shapes our identities. I create work with a tendency towards abstraction, saturated color, and collaborative projects.

the Unfinished Business blog page is home for my musical endeavors and a family of musicians who's influence is in no way separate from my visual work.

Below are some of the people I've done work for or collaborated with in the past:

Dagora (band, Amsterdam, NL)
Roro (musician, Amsterdam, NL)
Typewriter Distro (radical book distro, Arnhem, NL)
De Mallemoere Eetcafe (vegan cafe, Arnhem, NL)
Zegota (band, Greensboro, North Carolina USA)
Ross Wilbanks (film maker, musician, Charlotte, North Carolina USA)
From the Depths (band, Chapel Hill, North Carolina USA)
Dirt & Cheese (publication, Portland, Oregon USA)
Jason Crumer (musician, Oakland, California USA)
Chris Fox (writer, Greensboro, North Carolina USA)
