"To Fold": Paper Folding

The verb which I have chosen to work from is "To Fold" and so I decided to start of with something easy; Paper Folding. I created a few folded pieces out of card paper and lighter paper, to create sturdy, architectural pieces and light, subtle pieces.




 - The piece was created by drawing lines and creating geometric shapes. Each line had to be folded either inwards or outwards. I'm going to play around with different patterns and work on a larger scale with a slightly more sturdy paper, and leave it stand on the floor. 
 Both sides of the paper can then be seen, because the two sides have the opposite folded pattern. I could also create pieces which could be stuck on upon the wall and held on with one or two nails or pins, which allows the piece to be flipped over to see the two different sides. 





- Working with lighter paper, creating more freer folds that have subtle creases, which is very minimal.






I also want to experiment with many other materials, such as fabric, clay, plaster, latex, and even dough. So far, so good!
