In preparation for the upcoming #IRL exhibition, Helvey has been renting space in photographer Robin Stein’s photo studio, nestled behind the restaurant The Whale Wins in the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle. The two collaborated on Totokaelo’s recent spring campaign. “Robin and I are in the process of photographing all the work to be an instructional series called ‘Matter of Fact,’ documenting the construction of beautiful, functional objects seen online in real life, hence #IRL.”
