Peter Callesen is not a jewelry artist (like most of the people I talk about here), but he is incredibly inspiring and perhaps even magical….
Here are some pieces he created as part of a project where he takes 1 sheet of regular plain old paper, makes cut-outs (negatives) that become 3-dimensional sculptures (positives).
Impenetrable Castle
Walking Snail
Angel
Half Way Through
White Hand
I love the relationship between the negative and positive forms. I also really appreciate art when the process is so integrated to the viewing of the final piece. The ideas seem so simplistic, yet his execution is so tight and flawless. The seemingly ordinary piece of white paper takes on a life of it’s own and each creation has so much emotion, humor, tragedy and magic.
