Richard Sweeney

Below is one of Richard Sweeneys masterpieces, 'The Angel'. All made from cartridge paper!



Below is his modular forms. I really like these ideas of using shape and rules to construct a precise piece.

These are his motion forms they show unusual shape and movement. I really like how the pleats help to show the curvature of the piece and leave remainding shadows on other pleats. He also had drawings on his website showing very precisely how he was going to fold and create the pieces. The use of the dark tone contrasts well with the white paper. The other mid tones within his drawing show well where and how he will fold the paper to create these intricate shapes.





Here is his 'Boudicca'. This is a flower corsage, this is partially where i got my inspiration from to research into nature and test out making my own paper flower.
