Updated March 03, 2011 ________________________________ NephilNine (events + deco + design) NephilNine is the name under which Sue Helfrich provides event decorations and installation art. Based out of NYC (NY, USA), Sue has been working on parties since 2004. She is a classically trained artist who enjoys painting, sculpture and has a degree in Fashion Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology (NYC, USA). Sue found her true love, however, in the form of psychedelic installations, and any medium that sparkles, shines, glows, reacts, or fluoresces. "What drew me to deco was my fascination with immersing someone in a fantastic environment. As a child, I dreamed of being able to explore the surreal worlds portrayed in fantasy & science fiction movies and TV shows. Decorating parties has allowed me to make my dream a reality. Now I enjoy being able to create these worlds of my own design, even if only for a night, so that others may discover and explore them. " The NephilNine deco repertoire currently includes a variety of geometric and organic 3-D UV sculptures, spandex installation, large-scale string installations, and more is constantly being made. Sue has helped many people with their parties and has done work in the US and Canada and is currently part of the FractalTribe Network. She has done work on the production end of parties as part of the Loud Monitors production group. Sue has also created a collective of events solutions professionals and artists, Nsquared, and is affiliated with an interactive media group, SEEDVision. Sue has enjoyed a steady stream of deco gigs-- 25 parties in '08 &'09 has grown to the current standard of decorating at least one party every weekend. She has installed her work next to that of Psylotus, Neuromantix, Fluorobotanics, Funktion Forms, Nos, Julian Seyer, BlackSheepHybrid, Severyn, Uta Bekaia, NeuroNymphonic, Ocular Delight, the Sonic Beating crew, and many other talented deco artists. NephilNine has provided psychedelic environments for many different production companies including (but not limited to) Toca Cielo, Alladin Group, TDC, Yogi Boogey Box, Pulp, Loud Monitors, Paradigm Shift, 28th Day, Repsychle, PSI, Gaian Mind Monthly, Mayan Grind, Production54, Wonderland LLC, 6362 Metaforce, Beats Samsara, Green Apples, Neon East, Elektric AVE Prod, and the Sullivan Room NYC. Sue also harbors an interest in creative shade and shelter structures and has constructed a geodesic dome that she used as part of an installation at a regional burn, Playa Del Fuego, in the Fall of 2008. Through the FractalTribe Network, NephilNine, & Nsquared, Sue tries to provide the community she loves with beautiful environments where people people can gather, celebrate, communicate, and dance. Her goals are to continually grow, develop, and hone her creative vision, and to do what she can to help form, nurture, and expand a conscious community of sustainable party-goers, keeping the best parts of that which has been called "the underground" alive.
