Helena Hietanen, Helsinki-based sculptor by TEXTILE DESIGNERS.
HINT: Technolace wall hangings.
"Fabricated from strands of optic-fibers, her work combine handicraft traditions and cutting-edge fibre-optic technology to create textiles that transmit light. Hietanen discovered fibre-optics at a trade fair and she discovered how to adapt it to create traditional lace patterns by combining traditional hand craftsmanship with today's technology, which is what she had wanted to do all along."*
