Continuing our spotlight on artists from Soft Territories: Crossing One, today we’re featuring Helen Grundy.

“Collage is an artform with recycling and repurposing at its core… I am strongly influenced by punk culture and employ a DIY ethos of making something meaningful out of nothing.” — Helen Grundy

Soft Territories: Crossing One is a two-part online exhibition bringing together over 30 artists exploring softness as resistance, intimacy as methodology, and the politics of in-between states.

Soft Territories: Crossing One is live

Our first two-part online exhibition features over 30 artists exploring softness as resistance, intimacy as practice, and the politics of in-between states.

In the weeks ahead we’ll be spotlighting artists from the show, beginning today with Ross Compton.

“Think of it: a radiant explosion of self-acceptance, where vulnerability, femininity and holding your hands a certain way isn’t weakness. Wouldn’t that be nice? Wouldn’t that affect no one’s life but your own? Well tough luck buttercup. Society doesn’t like that s**t. So cut the gay crap.” - Ross Compton

Links to both parts of the exhibition are in our bio.

Soft Territories: Crossing One is live

Our first two-part online exhibition brings together over 30 artists exploring softness as resistance, intimacy as methodology, and the politics of in-between states. Over the coming weeks we’ll be spotlighting individual artists from the show, starting today with Sai Aryal.

“Sharing the story of how I evolved as a person and gaining the confidence in my own shell as a q***r person who grew up in south asia, this film explores more ways of showing that confidence in this world.” - Sai Aryal

We’re honoured to share an excerpt from Where’s Your Tree? by Pamela Booker (). A tender and incisive meditation on lineage, loss, and listening. Through a lyrical blend of poetry, image, and prose, Booker asks how we might live in right relation with the land and with each other, especially in the wake of rupture. It’s a work of eco-memory and embodied wisdom, reminding us that grief can be a portal, and that survival is its own kind of inheritance.

Published as part of Transmissions, Pup and Tiger’s platform for written works, where artists and writers share signals from the surprising, the sacred, and the everyday.
