The Origami Fortune Teller Fold inspired this collection's
DNA. This fold was something I learned as a kid. When classmates folded
cranes and planes, I would always fold Fortune Tellers. I remember always
getting sent to the corner for creating too much noise as my friends and I
would laugh at our misfortunes, leaving my fortuneteller on the teacher's table
confiscated.
To this day I can say that it still is my favorite fold cause
of its dynamism. You can create a lot of permutations with this dynamic module
and its manufacture in different materials will dictate its use. When
applied to a grid, it acts like a pixel
creating endless pattern options for interior diaphanous decorative partitions
and exterior architectural sunscreens. Install them together to create a
freeform skin for acoustic sculptural art installations.
Diffuse, Wash, and Reflect light on its facets and it creates
a play of shades and shadows.
