If you've been following this blog you'll know that I love paper. I love its tremendous versatility, its fragility and its strength. Peter Callesen has been one of my favourite paper sculptors for a long time. I discovered this Danish artist's work when reading about Goldsmiths' College, where we both studied, and being the ex-drama student-theatre buff that I am, was drawn to the tragi-comedy in his artpieces.
