I am drawn to the forms arising from a curved crease in a sheet material. I spend my days designing, building and repairing for clients. I spend my most rewarding time turning sheets into forms. A two-minute video shows my process: https://youtu.be/8Ip_L6xC9Gw

My art education comprises studying books on folding, searching the internet for great examples, and following the work of great folders like Richard Sweeney, Philip Chapman Bell, Polly Verity, Erik Demaine and Robert Lang. My strongest influence is the work of Sweeney and the excellent books by Paul Jackson. My work is based on distortions of the basic origami sphere corrugation.
