The abandoned rooms and spaces of Toronto artist, Sean Robert MacPherson tell stories of past occupants. The furniture in the space has been discarded and left behind with the ghost memories of a time when they were useful. Sean’s work puts spotlight on the disposable lifestyle of current society and our need to replace the old with the new, often before it is necessary.
Sean’s works are made all the more real with the inclusion of decorative pattern papers. Using some of our Chiyogami, Italian and Nepalese papers, he adds depth and texture to the space. You become drawn in by the small details that give authenticity to the story of the space.

The Kid’s Collage Challenge was an enormous success for the 3rd year running! We gave kids from the Queen West area bits and pieces of our Nepalese, Japanese and other decorative papers and asked them to give us back something spectacular. They rose to the occasion and the result is inspiring!
Thank you to everyone that participated. Check them out until the end of April.
We had a great time on Saturday in the park at the Queen West Art Crawl! We set up a table full of art and craft goodies including googly eyes, paper flowers, paper scraps, & shapes cut out from our Candy Flake, Nepalese, and Italian papers. It was fun to watch the kids each come up with something totally unique.

See you next year, Queen West Art Crawl.
