Richard Sweeney

Richard Sweeney.... Any form imaginable can be rendered through drawing, but when modelling in paper, an object has to be physically shaped. When faced with a flat sheet of material, there is no obvious indication of how it can be manipulated into a three dimensional object. The limitations of paper as a form making material offer a challenge, which through playful investigation results in tangible models.



This work of Richard Sweeney demonstrates the development of form through the making of paper models. Combining repetitive geometry, curved lines, and modularity, it was found that paper could be folded into a vast number of shape











I think his work is pure genius. It's looks so complex but really its simple shapes multiplied, to create an amazing sculpture.
