A while ago I came across an artist/sculptor called Peter Callesen from Denmark who creates amazing works of art using only pieces of paper, his choice size is mainly A4, which is similar to my work as I always start an idea using A4 paper, he then crafts and cuts the pieces into beautiful works of 3 dimensional art. I love the way all his work is so clean and precise, the attention to detail is what makes these pieces so pleasing in my opinion. His work ranges in difficulty also, but always has a suitable title that brings the work to life and gives it a meaning, for example "Big wave moving towards a small castle made of sand"(2005) which is fairly simple but very effective, whereas "Fall" (2008) is alot more complex and has a double meaning, playing on the word for autumn and a man fallen.
He has also done lots of installation work, stuff outdoors, on water and even in ice! I think his work has influenced me to take more attention to detail in the pieces I create,
