Helen O'Connor uses handmade paper in new and unexpected ways to create sculptural works of art that convey a flow of concepts. Her work, described as organic, textural and full of light, is influenced by the unique environment of the Yukon and has been exhibited in Canada, the U.S., Australia and the U.K.
Papermaking is a fascinating process to experience. Come to see Helen's specialized papermaking equipment, such as her Hollander Beater, in action. She also has a custom-made oriental stamper for processing oriental fibres and a collection of antique papermaking equipment.
