Peter Calleson's 'Palace of Dreams'

 I looked into Calleson's work earlier on in my project as I was fascinated how he created all his designs purely from paper, further into my researching I found what he has named 'Palace of Dreams', a built castle from recycled wood, then coated white, floating on the water. The idea was to let people visit the castle, one at a time, to escape into their own fairytale world, Peter himself would take the individuals there in a boat, then pick them up after an hours visit. This lets them almost discover and let them feel free to relax and escape.

 ''Symbolic the floating mobile castle can be read in different ways. The mobile castle suggests autonomy and something playful, as well as a contrast to the normal solid castle. The fact that the castle is floating and the aspect of water also suggest something dreamlike, something that will disappear again, something, which might just be a dream.''

One door leads to an escape.

 'On the other side' by Peter Callesen is a peice of art purely created from a peice of 350 gsm paper. What drew me to this was the idea of something so simple such as a door, can mean so much, this is almost symbollic of a getaway, and escape. Lucy's 'patients' go to Lucy to talk to her, drift away from their busy lives and breakaway to a book, and to listen to what Lucy has to say to them.

  
 'Birds' is another peice of Calleson's meaningful works of art, again made simply from paper, the birds are kind of 'freeing' themselves from their base, again, like the people who talk to Lucy, they make a departure from their lives, just for a moment, to listen to and gain advice from Lucy's knowledge. This also makes me think about what can be crafted and designed from just paper alone, think of how lightweight and versitile designs could be. A good idea for a transient space for Lucy. I have come to the conclusion we definately take paper for granted.
