Helen O’Connell is an Irish sculptor working predominantly in the medium of stone. She divides her work practice between her studio in Wicklow, Ireland and Tre Luci Studio d’Arte in Pietrasanta, Italy.
Her sculpture is motivated by an interest in exploring deep time and the geological phenomena contained in the material of stone, the enduring presence in the landscape of Ireland’s ancient relationship with stone, the symbolism of the circle and all phenomena botanical, biomorphic and biological that pertain to her experience as an earthling.
She is a member of Visual Artists Ireland, the Design and Crafts Council of Ireland, and a member of HOMO Faber, an international collection of creative artisans run by the Michelangelo Foundation. www.homofaber.com.
