This piece is a new version of this model, also part of my Intersections series. The bowl is hinged so it can open and close. In the original piece, I used a pleated folding technique where all the folds pointed in the same direction. Unfortunately, this caused some distortions in the shape, which are hidden in the photo I posted. Here I modified the folding technique to use alternating directions of the pleats. Since the folding is more symmetric, the shape of the bowl also stays more symmetric. I am planning to use this new folding technique as I continue this series. This piece is folded from a rectangle of Elephant Hide paper.
