Just a few more...







Jen's work was the first paper artist I found to use such bright and astonishing colours that almost gives his work identity. 








Sher's models remind me somewhat of the joker, but are constructed with a purpose, and a plan. Obvious that the colours were chosen purposely for that section of the model. It seems well thought out, and textile-like.



A bit like etching, Simon uses an object to make creases in the paper, rather than cutting and folding, which is a whole new technique compared to the others. Almost like drawing without ink.



Masahiro's use of shading along with the cut outs gives his pieces depth.



Very technical and architectural pieces, constructed with fine details.



Photography along with paper and lighting creates this amazing affect and shadows.




Clive's work almost looks like marble as the smoothness of the paper gives me that impression.

Peter Callesan



Peter Callesen.


I love Callesen's use of negative space with the left over cuttings from his pieces, especially when its not what it should be. As in, it's not what has been cut out, rather a completely different image, to give the whole complete image a story.










The use of angels in his photography are very important to some of his pieces, as the models wont stay that way forever, the only record will be the photos, which also gives it a different feeling, depending on the position, and what kind of story is being told. As well as the lighting.



In The Wild..

Natural forms that relate to my chosen shape:




Winter Gardens:







More experiment with the same shape.


















What I like most about this shape is the spiked edges, however I think a full circle takes away from that, so I'd rather not. I may consider hanging it so its in a spiral, instead of a full circle. It also reminds me of a pokemon, seadra and onyx as many people that have seen my piece have also mentioned: 


Pokemon is based on animals and insects, so I decided to further my research in another direction, I'd look at repeat patterns in wild life and plants.

Stairs Research.

Curves, blocked, striped, there's so many! But all have similar qualities in common that I want to represent in my work.

Colour Paper.

Bit of experiment with the same pattern as before, but with coloured paper instead, bit larger than before. Worked quite well. I did however find that at a little big bigger scale, the spine curve wasn't as curved as the previous experiment. This may be the size, but it may also be because I didn't do as many shapes? 
Next I will experiment in larger and smaller scale. 











I noticed the shadow when I didn't have the flash on, and thought I'd take a few without as I found it quite interesting and appealing.
