Helena Malm, born 1982, is a Swedish ceramic artist based in Stockholm, working with ceramic sculpture and site-specific art.
In her work, she draws on architecture and public spaces to explore themes such as transformation, time, control, and transience. Central to her practice is also a material-based exploration of ceramic surfaces and glazes.
In 2022, she received a Bachelor's degree in Ceramics and Glass from Konstfack, Stockholm, and is now active in G-studion in Gustavsberg. She began her career as a textile print designer after earning a Bachelor's degree in Design from HDK in 2007.
