I stumbled upon this Danish artist today, but I can not understand why I haven't seen his work before! This is some of the most amazing, creative, handcrafted work I have ever seen! All his work is made entirely out of paper! He cuts out a negative space from a sheet of paper and use that piece to create either a conversation between the negative and the positive space, or to create beautiful shapes out of beautiful patterns. The scale of his work extend from a plain A4-sheet to a whole room installation.
This is a small collection of his work:
I LOVE IT!

The scale: 5,3 x 1,3 x 8 m!
This is some of what Peter Callesen says about his own work:
"A large part of my work is made from A4 sheets of paper. It is probably
the most common and consumed media used for carrying information today.
This is why we rarely notice the actual materiality of the A4 paper. 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."
