i could never have the patience or precision to produce the intricate sculptures that Peter Callesen creates. his series of 'paper cuts' shows the extent of his talents. although i know i could never make any of them, i appreciate the work behind each. this image, entitled 'Cowboy' is framed and set with a red back drop, making the tiny sculpture stand out. he uses the cut out piece to create the overhanging image. its all very clever.
my personal favorite is 'Holding on to myself' which is very simple and understated, but has a brilliant concept and displays intense meaning. Callesen' s talent goes to show that sculpture doesn't always have to be huge and invasive, to have a strong and powerful message.
