Paper Sculpture

I write a lot about music on here, so I've decided to intentionally write about some other things for a bit. This week, I'm thinking artsy sculptural things.

First up, Peter Callesen.

I would consider myself pretty handy with an xacto blade, but this is incredible. This is the type of work that just blows my mind in terms of the creativity someone has (not to mention patience in execution).





"A large part of my work is made from A4 sheets of paper...The thin white paper gives the paper sculptures a frailty that underlines the tragic and romantic theme of my works...The paper cut sculptures explore the probable and magical transformation of the flat sheet of paper into figures that expand into the space surrounding them. The negative and absent 2 dimensional space left by the cut, points out the contrast to the 3 dimensional reality it creates, even though the figures still stick to their origin without the possibility of escaping. In that sense there is also an aspect of something tragic in many of the cuts."
