‘The Collection’ is a visualisation of the seemingly impossible. The specimens are needles. Team GB shooter James Huckle has shot a bullet through the eye of each needle at a distance of 10m. Helen’s display presents the specimens as objects of beauty and rarity, simultaneously acknowledging the scientific, educational and commercial value of the act.
