Wildlife Paper Sculptures By Calvin Nicholls
Wildlife Paper Sculptures By Artist Calvin Nicholls.
WHEN DID IT ALL START
” In my graphic design classes in college we studied paper as a medium which I found intriguing. Several years later in 1983 while designing a menu for a client I discovered a paper sculpture artist in Toronto and approached him about collaborating. His work and the art form really appealed to me and I immediately began my experiments with various papers that I had become familiar with through the graphics trade. ” – Calvin Nicholls
WHAT TOOLS ARE USED
” I am always experimenting with new tools but burnishers, and metal texturing tools are equally as important as the knives. A variety of handle shapes and sizes keeps my hand from cramping. Blades vary in shape as well depending on the handles and task. The tips fade quickly and require sharpening or replacement frequently as I work. ” – Calvin Nicholls
