‘It was a magical place to grow up’: the artist using her childhood home as a canvas
Carla von der Becke has turned her South Downs home into a crucible of creativity
By Sophie Barling

I’m still getting used to this. It’s quite disconcerting,” says Carla von der Becke, looking up at an assemblage of agricultural tools
– hefty saws included – hanging around a rustic chandelier in the kitchen of her home in the South Downs. The perilous-looking
arrangement is the latest intervention here, in the house Carla grew up in, by her friend the South African
artist HelenA Pritchard (who intervened in her own name to add the “A” in at the end).
The two women met a decade ago through mutual friends in the art world – Carla is co-director of London-based PR
agency Albany Arts – and HelenA had occasionally been a visitor to the house when Carla was staying with her parents. Then,
early in 2021, Carla’s mother died “quite unexpectedly. She had been caring for my dad, who has dementia, so then I was here
caring for him, and it was quite intense…” It was at this point that HelenA offered to come and stay for a longer spell. “Carla
didn’t have any help, she was doing everything herself and I thought she might just need a friend. And I love getting out into the
country.”

The house, which Carla’s parents bought in 1974 and whose oldest part was built in 1690, proved fertile ground for HelenA’s
penchant for working with discarded or overlooked material, for “reconfiguring things”, as she puts it. Tiles left over from when
a swimming pool was built years ago have found their way into some of her sculptures, for instance, as have the contents of
decades-old tins of Farrow & Ball paint. In her makeshift studio in one of many ancient-looking outbuildings, where a copy
of Waiting for Godot lies among other seemingly timeless accretions on the floor, she prises open a tin of calamine pink. “Some
of the paint is almost hard, so I can use it in a sculptural way,” she says. “I love then walking around the house and thinking
‘Eureka! – I’ve found where they’ve actually used this colour!’” She likes that it’s a “continuation of something, so it’s not
necessarily about what the finished work is, it’s the materials and their history that’s important.”
