Hyperbolic Forms
This very simple idea of making regular polygons into dimensional
forms has so many variations and possibilities. How can anyone resist
a format that is both a mathematical and literary description?
Although paper and Origami are not my usual medium I grew up folding
paper with my grandmother Lillian Oppenheimer who was a founding
member of Origami USA. I love the feel of paper transforming in my
hands and the amazing forms possible with such a basic material.
Regular Polygons folded into hyperbolic polyhedrons (Each
Polyhedron is about 5" x 5" x 5")
