One Sheet of Paper -

'Fascinating contest sponsered by the Hirshorn Modern Art Gallery in DC -- the rule is that the artist can use only one sheet of paper.


Makes you want to pull out your scissors and play, doesn't it?! (Many more incredibly impressive entries can be seen here).
Added later: Apparently these are primarily the work of artist Peter Callesen. A4 examples are here, but explore his entire website. The guy's work is breathtaking!)

Ps The last illustration you posted has got to be my favorite so far. Despite it coming close to the deadline. Shows you can keep up a consistant quality with your work.

Thanks for another look.

Oh this gentleman is fantastic isn't he. Pater Carlsen I think he's called isn't he. I found his work just before Christmas, when I typed paper cutting into google, as it was something I fancied a go at. Then you look at his work and realise, a snowflake is my limit !

Wow! They're amazing. I like the bridge one because at first you think it's 2 pieces. The little ballerina's lovely too.

See Peter Callesen's work - all his work - on website - not Hirshhorn gallery entries.
Please correct this in your display of work - see

Enjoy! ~chickadee from snow-bound Utah~
