I have been doing origami since elementary school. I was drawn to
modular origami by its structure and mathematical properties. This is
the medium in which I work. More recently, I found the Snapology
technique by H. Strobl, which allows creativity with very few rules
using only strips of material. I like to use beautiful ribbon which
seems to add another dimension to my work. Snapology has allowed me to
dig deeply into mathematical shapes. It has provided insights into
mathematical concepts and ideas. I wrote, 'Geometric Origami',
published by Thunder Bay Press. It is the first book completely
dedicated to the Snapology technique. The bottom line is that I make
these wonderful works because they look really cool.
I love making geometric models. There are only 6 pentagons
throughout the model. Although much of the model is flat I needed
to figure where to put the hinges in backwards to try to modify
the intrinsic curvature of the technique. This is the first
'useful' thing I've made using the Snapology Technique.
