Art based on predicting the future by studying animal entrails
Helen Friel is a Paper Engineer and Illustrator, working in the lovely Papered Parlour, London. She graduated from Central Saint Martin’s in 2009 with a First in BA Graphic Design.
Her recent series, Predictions, is a collaboration with photographer Chris Turner, exploring the art of Hepatomancy — predicting the future by studying animal entrails — first practiced by the Babylonians over 4000 years ago.

Driven by a wide spectrum of influences, the music of Brass Bed moves easily through an eclectic mix of genres: from alt-country ballads and progressive rock hooks, to sticky-sweet, heart-felt lyrics, and dissonant experimental freak-outs.
