Fabulist!

Earlier today I got one of those wonderful e-mails in my inbox telling me about a contest the Hirshhorn Museum in D.C. supposedly had wherein people were challenged to make a work of art from a single piece of paper. The results were breathtaking. But when I went to the Hirshhorn's site, there was absolutely no mention of any such contest.

Instead, I found that those gorgeous paper cutouts were all the work of one man, a Danish artist named Peter Callesen. And glory upon glories, the examples of his work shown in that e-mail (and making the rounds on a lot of art blogs) are just the tip of the paper iceberg.

I think I want to live in one of his giant paper towers and let my paper braids down for a handsome paper prince.
