In 2016 she was awarded the Tate Turner Prize. Marten works across sculpture, painting, video and writing to create a body of work that questions the stability of the material world and our place within it. Alluding to ideas, systems and experiences, her work across all media sets out to articulate complex ideas about the way in which we exist in and understand the world around us.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"helen-marten-goodnight","title":"Goodnight!","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGoodnight!\u003c\/em\u003e is a multi-layered work made for the South London Gallery, incorporating two- and three-dimensional elements housed within a bespoke frame. The central image is created by the artist from a drawing of women dancing in checked pyjamas, retranslated in blend of coloured pigment, watercolour, acrylic and graphite powder. The figures are blurred with movement and overlapping. Around this depiction of joy and comfort are further motifs of daily preoccupations: trees, beds, tables, notepaper, a cocktail.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist says: '\u003cem\u003eGoodnight!\u003c\/em\u003e is a mode of optimism, a work with countless permutations of visual and linguistic knotting.
