I’m excited to announce that I’ll be giving a talk about my origami at OrigamiUSA’s FoldFest Spring 2021! The event runs from Saturday, April 10, 10:00am EDT until Sunday, April 11, 11:00am EDT. My talk, titled “Twists and Bends,” will be at 6:00pm EDT on April 10 (details on the full schedule).
I’ll be talking about the design principles behind quite a few of my geometrically distorted vases, starting from a simple accordion fold and building all the way up to the impossible-looking diagonal shifts and bends. I’ll show a bunch of the motifs that show up in the crease patterns and how they combine in the finished models.
Rebecca – Thank you so much for the talk at FoldFest. I loved seeing your work and hearing your explanation.
The world can be very small too. You know my son-in-law from Georgia Tech. He was two years ahead of you and also had Jean Luc as his advisor. He has a piece of your work from back then and I’m bugging him to show it to me.
