Test fold: Inward/outward cone-based diagonal shift

Before my diagonal shift series went on hiatus for several years, I was playing with cone-based diagonal shifts, including ones where the cone pointed inward as it approached the shift plane and ones where it splayed outward. This test-fold combines an in-turned cone on the bottom with an out-turned cone on the top, creating the appearance that a singe cone continues through both halves of the model. This continues a theme of mixed-shape twists that I had started several years ago.

This was a test fold for one of the pieces currently on display at the Urbandale Art Gallery – photos of the finished piece coming soon!
