Helen Musselwhite Art
28 10 2009Each piece of work is handmade by Helen Musselwhite in her studio in the North West of the U.K. Each piece combines the hand cutting, folding and scoring of a wide range of papers and card that are further worked on to create patterned and textured surfaces. They are then used to build scenes in box frames which are often complex and consist of many layers. This process means that each item of work is individual with no two pieces the same.
