Origami Workshop – David Kandel

Sept 19

Origamist David Kandel, Laser cutting, math background, a social worker.

For the artistic aspect, he uses math

  1. Figurative: animals, plants, hats, clothing
  2. Mathematical, computer progress array of figures
    1. Bug wars
      1. dragons
      2. nones, mythical figures
      3. pegasus
      4. rock
      5. life masks

The Bug Wars were origami contests among members of the Origami Detectives which started when one member made a bug, a horned beetle with outspread wings, from a single sheet of paper: this design provoked other members to design more complex origami in the shape of bugs, such as wasps and praying mantises.

Mathematical 3 categories

  1. Modular 1 pc repeats. complex figures – > basic
  2. Tessellations: pattern (grid of 400 triangles), geometric shapes out of 1 sheet. stars
  3. Corrugations: Form Folding

Work with the notion of color, material, plane, space and edges. Use a variety of them. Easy to make mistakes correct them and go on.

Text book: Paul Jackson on Origami, 15 years ago. Patterns and Planes, it give the sequences.

Foldable anything: Houses, body functions
One step farther is manufacturing molecules you want!

Repeating patterns
Flexible collapsable
Tessellation put all on top of eachother
Series of Parallel lines: all lines intersections at the end, or all in the middle of the page!
Generation Folds
Gen 0  1
Gen 1  2
Gen 2  4
Gen 3  8
Exponential relationship: ecology & economy same exp vary
Non equal sides
Angles vary
Accordeon Fold, paper architecture
Pleads
Use as rectangle If you want a circle

Tomoko Fuse: spirals, coils, installations

The SocialFabric MICA

wide_med_fabric.jpg“Join FORCE: Upsetting Rape Culture and the African American Quilters of Baltimore for a Monument Quilt workshop, where you will be invited to co-create quilts about the criminalization of black women who are survivors of abuse. In this workshop, Glenda Richardson and Rosalind Robinson will share appliqué techniques and discuss the history of AAQB. Shanti Flagg FORCE will provide a “teach-in” about the criminalization of women of color for self-defense, to help the collaborative group bring more awareness to the critical issue, and talk about the history of the Monument Quilt.”
