This extremely rare folding septum was owned by the Rothschilds, Jewish financiers whose art was seized in the Nazi takeover of Austria in 1938. In 1945, the art was rescued by American troops and given to the Austrian government. The Rothschilds later recovered part of their collection, but only after giving this and other items to the Art History Museum in Vienna. In 1999 however, under international pressure to restore Holocaust victim's property, Austria returned the art to the family, who then sold many of the pieces.
This weapon is possibly the Armory's most important acquisition. It is the finest surving septum, with its intricate mechanism of folding blades and mountings bearing delicate gold arabesques on a background darkened for a brilliant contrast. Similar decoration appears on fine MIlanese armors of the mid-sixteenth century, suggesting a possible origin and date. The weapon also retains its original wooden shaft with impressed and gilded motifs. Folding septums were imperial-quality weapons because of their expensive construction and elaborate decoration. Their original purpose remains unclear, but it is possible that they were carried by bodyguards or as splendid hunting weapons.

For my research I spend a lot of time thinking about bending and folding things.
One idea that I had is to do with extending forms using principles found in origami and making them collapse and adapt their shape depending on the loads that are placed on them.
This sort of made me think of a toy from my childhood, the Rubik's Magic. They don't make them in the UK anymore as they were made by MatchBox, but I found a place in Hungary that makes them still so I ordered one via the web.

I held a series of three sessions at KPF NY demonstrating severals ways to transform a flat single sheet of paper into a complex form. I demonstrated folds that used both standard origami techniques (square paper, no cutting) and more modern approaches (laser-cut and -scored curves). The square forms date back to the Bauhaus movement and I was inspired by the work I did for Erik and Marty Demaine when choosing the shapes of the curved forms. Special thanks also to Alex Soijka who helped with the video.

I know I already have a scorpion design but I feel I like this one a little bit better. This is actually a slight modifacation of a failed rough draft for my other scorpion, but I came across it when going through some of my old stuff and I ended up liking it enough to give it a second chance.
Test fold done. Shifting away from stars for new horizons, I am continuing with other twisting shapes. (Previous: www.flickr.com/photos/36647565@N00/24096157744). The idea behind started when I wanted to come up with a simpler shape than just a star for twisting. Then the thought process of an interesting pattern with it. Took a while to figure, avoid overlapped pleats and accomplish the shape.
