 Week 6: Papercraft Objects - Digital Samples For this weeks assignment I created 10 faceted and unfolded forms in Rhino. Form #1: Square face attached to twisted square face with triangles. Form #2: Polygon attached to twisted polygon with triangles.  Form #3: Polygon attached to smaller polygon with thin triangles. Form #4: Polygon attached to long rectangle with triangles. Form #5: Long polygon with a pyramid attached at either side.  Form #6: Long polygon with a point on the end to look like a pencil. Form #7: Polygon attached to a larger polygon that is then mirrored on the other side.  Form #8: Two polygons with a shared side and is closed with triangles. Form #9: Square attached to smaller square that is then duplicated and mirrored on the other side to make an hourglass shape. Form #10: Long rectangle attached to other long twisted rectangle with triangles.

 Week 5: Papercraft Research For this research project I will be talking about  Illuminated Cut Paper Light Boxes by Hari & Deepti. Here are a few photos: This piece is my favorite: In order to create these pieces the artist couple cuts out intricate designs on watercolour paper. These cut outs are then placed inside of a lightbox which is lit from the back using small LED light strips. The use of layering combined with the lighting is what gives the art depth. Hari & Deepti are great storytellers and have discovered that the depth and layering achieved by using paper as a medium greatly reflects that.  The couple emphasize the duplicity of possibilities when using paper as a medium. Paper gives artists endless amounts of options of where to go with their work but it can also give them nothing or simplicity. It all depends on the ideas of the artist and where they want to take the piece. Hari and Deepti's work inspired me through their use of storytelling, which i...
