New Work

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.

This piece is the newest addition to my Intersections series.  The bowl is hinged so it can close to a circle or open like you see here.  The Intersections pieces are all among my most challenging to design and fold, and this one was no exception. I’d still like to tweak the design to clean it up a bit.  This piece is folded from one rectangle of Elephant Hide paper.  As with the rest of this series, the paper is not painted.
