Large format paperfolds

The large format Paperfolds are all 1m x 1m x 3cm in size and there are five types of composition; Cross Current, Constructive Interference, Making Waves, Folded Perspective and Grid Formation. Each is created from a process of drawing, scoring and folding using a single sheet of transluscent drafting film.

Illusions of triangles and parallelograms appear to shift in depth and shape when casting light over each faceted surface. This illusion is exaggerated further with the movement of the viewer when different patterns are discernible depending on the angle from which they are viewed.

‘I enjoy the discipline that’s required in the making of each folded surface. I find the creative process of drawing, scoring and folding akin to a form of meditation and I am totally absorbed for hours at a time. There is always an element of surprise that I find hugely rewarding when a final relief form emerges. Each form essentially combines my personal expression and making with the logical rationale of geometry’.
