ARTIST Helen Williams has made her name at Ludlow's Silk Top Hat Gallery with her abstract designs, using folded, stitched and pierced canvas and then stretching it over wooden frames.

From September 18, she will be back at the Gallery exhibiting under her married name of Helen Cass. She says her work has developed through using repeated lines to show the domestic and agrarian routines lived out by previous generations.

She is working on a Ph.D at the University of Wales in Aberwystwyth. This year she has already exhibited in London and Poole. Her show in Ludlow is open daily until October 9.
