Stream-of-consciousness

I figured, hey, it works with drawing; why not origami? The key to this

sort of exploration is to keep your mind focused on the shapes and

patterns that appear as you are working, and then exploit those within the

confines of the compositional structure. The result is a escheresque

complex of different subjects, related by shape and texture. I'd like to

try this with a more representational style of folding and a larger sheet

of paper at some point, but I don't think I have the technique yet to

create the diverse and versatile forms that would be needed for that sort

of thing.

 

Folded from (of course) an 8" sheet of bond paper. I took the picture on

the cover of my binder; as you can tell, I like playing with numbers.

Right there I was working on a four-dimensional analogue of Pascal's

triangle; I can post a picture of the whole thing if anyone's interested.
