Teruya’s works explore issues such as the growing consumerism of contemporary society, depleting natural resources and other problems associated with globalism, including the threat it poses to localized cultural traditions and identities.<br /><br />In his <span style="font-weight: bold;">Notice – Forest Series</span>, artist Yuken Teruya assembles small delicate trees from the cut out part of disposable bags.

And not just once. Today was the fourth time! So, clearly this is making the "e-mail rounds". But it's not true. Not a word of it.<br /><br />I really feel the need to set this straight. There was never an exhibit of this type at the <a href="http://hirshhorn.si.edu/">Hirshorn.</a> And all that beautiful work is the art of one talented man, Denmark born Peter Callesen.<br /><br />So, if you want to start spreading the word about his art, do so from here. And if you get that e-mail? Set the recipient straight.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">A4 papercut Project By Peter Callesen.</span><br /><br />About my paper works (in Peter's words):<br />"My paper works have lately been based around an exploration of the relationship between two and three dimensionality. I find this materialization of a flat piece of paper into a 3D form almost as a 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. Some of the small paper cuts relate to a universe of fairy tales and romanticism, as for instance "Impenetrable Castle" inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", in which a tin soldier falls in love with a paper ballerina, living in a paper castle. Other paper cuts are small dramas in which small figures are lost within and threatened by the huge powerful nature. Others again are turning the inside out, or letting the front and the back of the paper meet - dealing with impossibility, illusions, and reflections.<br /><br />I find the A4 sheet of paper interesting to work with, because it probably still is the most common and consumed media and format for carrying information today, and in that sense it is something very loaded. This means that we rarely notice the actual materiality of the A4 paper. By removing all the information and starting from scratch using the blank white 80gsm A4 paper as a base for my creations, I feel that I have found a material which, on one hand, we all are able to relate to, and which on the other hand is non-loaded and neutral and therefore easier to fill with different meanings. The thin white paper also gives the paper sculptures a fragility which underlines the tragic and romantic theme of the works."<br /><br /><img src="http://www.petercallesen.com/index/images/White-Hand.jpg" style="width: 510px;
