It's difficult for me to believe that these forms are constructed with only folded and glued paper. Richard Sweeney is the patient UK paper artist and three-dimensional designer behind these structured yet delicate forms that seem to redefine the capabilities of paper.

Richard says "The limitations of paper as a form [make the] material offer a challenge, which through playful investigation results in tangible models... Hands on manipulation provides perhaps the best insight into the properties of a material, allowing its behaviors to be discovered and exploited for the generation of form."
