Statement
Paper is my medium and paperfolding (origami) is my favorite technique. When I design a new artwork I avoid traditional origami bases. I prefer folds and constructions useless for most of paperfolders. I reduce number of folds, place folded lines in unusual configurations, do not rely on strict constructibility of folds and leave symmetry away. But I still depend on geometric structures. When I create, I move and push a piece of paper in my mind and I imagine folds and curved shapes resulting from the paper movement. I blend rigorous and abstract geometric shapes with material and flexible pieces of folded paper into united forms. A spectator may admire spiral twisting around each other, arcs, convex and concave surfaces. Or explore deeper a geometric structure. Shapes derived from flat piece of paper and geometric concepts begin their independent life. Their internal beauty may be discovered only if the artwork is reinterpreted again.
