China Uncut and Unrated
View allAll Photos Tagged UNCUT
Designed and folded by myself from an uncut 45cm square.
This is an evolution of a previous design here. The original was based on 22.5 degree angles but I was unsatisfied with the wings and wanted to add pleats for feathers. This version is the result of trying to 'transpose' the original design onto a boxpleating grid where feather pleats are easier to incorporate. I also stole the head from Lang's Barn Owl.
Already in Classical Antiquity this pretty flowering plant was notorious for its sharp leaves. Hence the name 'Butomus', something like 'Ox-cutter' in English; it would not do as animal fodder. But insects remain uncut. Here along a ditch the summer-flowering blossoms is being visited by a Fly and a Hoverfly.
So weird to get a cover from m own group , But Ty Babydollie for thinking it was worth one after seeing someone many awesome photos posted in the group today.

while trying to get prepared for this weekend's sale, I found the cigar box with the five-uncut polyhedrons. I have had these for over thirty years and still have not cut one.

OK. Once again this moon thing...
I`m just trying some things. Just playing around...
No serious art stuff or something;)
Designed and folded by me, Chad Killeen. Folded from one uncut square of origamido paper. Designed ....um... some time ago, I don't know when. But revised in January 2009.
This model is almost identical to my previous cicada design with the exception of the pleated abdomen.
The paper is actually a shiny brown (which I was rather reluctant to use but I'm kinda running out of my nice paper) but in this lighting it came out looking green-ish, so thats good!
Europe, France, Languedoc-Roussillon, L'Hérault, Montpellier, Antigone, Place de Nombre d'Or (uncut)
Shot in Ricardo Bofill’s Antigone quarter. Antigone is a living quarter in Montpellier. with some 4,000 apartments and 20,000 sq. meters of commercial space. Its morphology is neo-classicist / post-modern and it's realized on former industrial and military terrains. The former "le Polygone du genie” a former shooting range of the Joffre military barracks and the former Esplanade station and its viaduct was used. This station was the terminus of the Montpellier - Palavas railway here.
When we first visited Antigone in 1997, it was just finished and it looked kind of sterile and as someone who in general isn't really fond of post-modern architecture, it was easy for me to dislike and dismiss it as an empty and dysfunctional gesture with almost fascist overtones. When W and I returned some 15 years later the morphology was of course still there ....but the quarter had become alive - the trees now significant in size, many little shops, restaurants and bars and a great and lively diversity of people walking, socializing and lounging. And maybe 'cause of this I began to see the humour in the extravagant design choices of Antigone like this enormous 'brise soliel' (or is it a crown?) , in the expression and relative dimensions of the sculptures placed in fountains and in the choice to use flowered streetcars for public transportation. The gestalt seems to really work – you can never be sure what will work and what will not in a city - strange beasts as they are.
This is number 18 of the Montpellier album and 922 of Minimalism / explicit Graphism.

Europe, Spain, Valencia, Torres dels Serrans, Fallas (uncut)
The Fallas festival in Valencia is ceremonially started by 'the mayor of Fallas' from the galllery above of the central entrance arch of the monumental 'Torres dels Serrans' city gate in the background.
The artwork of the falles on display is again fascinating. This time no references to Star Wars or Star Trek but something in a 'Disney goes Manga' vein. Is it post-modern ? ;-)
More (background) info about the Falles fetsival is with the prevous post here.
The beach is North Avenue Beach in Chicago. Recent rain reduced large boulders of ice to small nuggets.
Created and designed by Vincent Achard
One uncut square of biotpe paper, 35*35cm.
