Spectacular Paper Pop-Up Sculptures
While studying graphic design in college, German artist Peter Dahmen was given an assignment to create a 3D object out of paper. Though he loved the task and the opportunity to work with his favourite medium, there was one problem: he didn’t have a safe way of transporting the finished product to class.
That’s when he devised a plan to fold the sculpture flat, like a pop-up book. This small decision would eventually lead him to become a full-time paper engineer. Where most of us see a plain white sheet, Peter sees the raw material for works of art.
