PicoCool - Paper Cut

Paper Cut

Perhaps it’s the white paper, the minimalism or the precision, but the imaginative papercut work of Danish artist Peter Callesen moves me. He writes: “I find the materialization of a flat piece of paper into a 3D form as an almost magic process - or maybe one could call it obvious magic, because the process is obvious and the figures still stick to their origin, without the possibility of escaping. In that sense there is also an aspect of something tragic in most of the cuts.” Visit his site to see all his work, which includes papercuts, works on snow and ice, installations and works on water.

The practice and study of origami encapsulates several subjects of mathematical interest. For instance, the problem of flat-foldability (whether a crease pattern can be folded into a 2-dimensional model) has been a topic of considerable mathematical study.
