Violise Lunn, born in 1969, graduated as a fashion designer in 1995 from a Design School in Denmark . She specialises in the design and making of one of a kind pieces of clothing for women. Her other passion is making unwearable items from the simplest textile of all: paper.
Finding perfect freedom in this material through sculpting figure silhouettes, angels and her favourite theme: shoes, she allows herself to play with otherwise impossible compositions. The artist divides her time between the two artforms and lets them feed each other with inspiration. Both expressions permit dreaminess and the search for perfection.

Peter Callesen was born 1967 in Denmark. His paper works have lately been based around an exploration of the relationship between two and three dimensionality. His collection of works on A4 sheets of paper are amazing. Identifying A4 paper as the most common and consumed media and format for carrying information today. Callesen perceives the A4 paper material as something very loaded, yet the actual materiality of which is rarely noticed. By removing all the information and starting from scratch using blank white 80gsm A4 paper as a base for his creations, he has 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.
