Peter Callesen, of Denmark, makes amazing use of paper, bringing depth and meaning to the most plain and common of materials. His favorite works of mine are those that make use of the removed paper by showing a transformation from a two-dimensional silhouette into a realistic three-dimensional model. I’ve included a few of his favorite works after the jump, but I had to leave out so many incredible works that I beg you to spend some time browsing his website.

First, I think this is a picture of Peter (enjoying some ale while standing in a floating castle that he created):

And more of my favorites… I wish I could narrow them down. I feel bad rendering them in 2D, because clearly these works need to be viewed in person.
