Paper Scenes: Appreciating Engraved Paper Creations was posted May 31 07 at the design show forum at Yesky.com, a popular Chinese IT portal. The photos came from a Netease BBS, apparently, but a quick Baidu search didn’t turn up anything more, and there’s no artist attribution. I don’t even know if it’s Chinese, frankly, but most likely Asian at least. More photos at the site–check out the paper waterfall cut from the middle of a page…Update: not Chinese at all! These extraordinary pieces are by Danish artist Peter Callesen, who we now know thanks to Liz. I don’t think the Yesky design editor knew where they were from, which is why they were left unattributed.

Always a pleasure to read your blog.
Thanks,

Liz, so glad you were able to identify the artist. Wonderful stuff.
The artist behind these paper sculptures isn’t Asian unfortunately, but a Dane from Copenhagen : Peter Callesen : http://www.petercallesen.com

I’ve just been letting everything wash over me. I just don’t have much to say right now, but what can I say? I can’t be bothered with anything these days. Such is life. I haven’t been up to much lately.
