Workshop models

These are some of the models that i created in the first two workshops with Richard Sweeney although the techniques he showed us look easy it was a different matter when putting the techniques into practice

in this model i weaved the paper to get this pattern 

here i simply was curving the paper. i believe it gives the idea of waves which i could use as a theme for my final project.

Artist Research Peter Callesen

Peter Callesen (born 1967) is a Danish artist and author. Callesen is renowned for his exceptional talent in combining the minimalism of a big crisp white sheet of paper with the complexity of meticulously cut and folded paper and uses the two to build out some really beautiful compositions. Particularly noteworthy are his works where the remains of the cut and folded objects are literally shadows of the objects former self. He uses the positive and negative space to tell a sometimes-dark story about the past and future of his subject using only a white sheet of paper.

workshop 1

In our first workshop we was introduced to richard sweeney a well known sculpture he is best known for creating  models out of paper and is classed as a paper manipulator. in the workshop he showed us different ways in which we could make the paper, fold and stay together with out the using glue or tape, he did this by cutting slots into paper and pushing tabs through them.


These are some examples of Sweeneys work which i found from his website.
