Peter Callesen: Paper Cut Sculptures

The bulk of Peter Callesen’s work is made from plain white sheets of A4 paper, chosen for the symbolism as well as the color and size.

“By taking away all the information and starting from scratch using the blank white A4 paper sheet for my creations, I feel I have found a material that we are all able to relate to, and at the same time the A4 paper sheet is neutral and open to fill with different meaning. The thin white paper gives the paper sculptures a frailty that underlines the tragic and romantic theme of my works.”
