ABOUT THE ARTWORK

As a self taught artist I have a true affinity for the technical process and challenging aspects of physically creating and realizing designs with my own hands and brain. I showcase and express a universal language of creation based upon engineering geometry through a formulaic approach. It is an educational and cerebral art form centered around complex mathematical puzzles in both 2 and 3 Dimensions. About this Work: It is a tedious intricate paper sculpture handcrafted without the use of any adhesives. Made with my original self created interlocking base fold this geometric composition contains approximately 4,800 interwoven sheets of paper. The design is an octahedra (8 sided triangular pyramid) interior fused with 6 hexahedra Cubic variations. It is an architectural composition dissected through negative spaces and hollowed forms that reveal organic geometric shapes and patterns through symmetry. An exposed and visibly open interior creates diverse viewing angles (“Money Shots”) where the geometry and forms organically line up to create complex aesthetic symmetry. Extremely durable and easy to handle. This work has multiple bases and can be displayed in several positions. It is completely handmade with a repetitive hands on process. Because of this aspect there are errors and blemishes in comparison to computer generated 3-D Art…This is something I embrace and appreciate about origami sculptures of this magnitude. Upon completion of the building and construction process I applied a monochromatic metallic overcoat finish. This accentuates and emphasizes the geometric forms and illuminates the sculpture as the light varies.

More than 140,000 individual folds in a single sculpture. “Origami and its mathematical principles are undoubtedly the most universally consistent art form in all the cosmos" - Self taught base folds and original design sculptures and paintings. Thousands of sheets of paper without any adhesives and application of mathematical engineering process into 2-Dimensional Paintings and Drawings. I showcase and express a universal language of physical creation based upon evolving shapes and engineering geometry through a formulaic approach. It is an educational and cerebral art form centered around complex mathematical puzzles in both 2 and 3 Dimensions. As a self taught artist I have a true affinity for the technical process and challenging aspects of physically creating and realizing designs with my own hands and brain. Everything I create is original to me. This means that I have never seen the works elsewhere. I almost never create the same design twice due to the infinitesimal amount of possible variations within these geometric structures. Pushing the limits and boundaries of Origami and mental dexterity I only challenge myself; however I may be a leader in this timeless artform. Not just in this era but through time. Through hands-on mathematics I create concrete engineered geometric forms that represent the principles of infinity. Nearly every design I create theoretically expands infinitely in all directions and each specific sculpture is a representation of a physical geometric space that exists within these infinite patterns. The finished products often result in naturally occurring relatable symbols such as 3rd Eyes, Star of David, Swastika, Keyholes, Abstract Humanoid Faces, Forms, and more. Diverse viewing angles and negative spaces organically create these forms within the paintings and as you move about the sculptures allowing the geometry to line up (I call these money shots or money angles). A Synonymous relationship between chaos and order. Creating these sculptures begins with a consistent mathematical formula on how to evolve and advance the forms and designs of three-dimensional sculptural origami paper puzzles. In a sense I know how I am going to build a specific design based not upon what I want or think the sculpture should look like but rather by using mathematical principles related to how the geometry varies.
