some of my work so far.... getting some ideas together

all of the above pieces are made from a single piece of paper that i cut down the middle in strips then i used the strips to make a organic shape, i ended up with this piece above to start with. i like how diffferent light can change the whole concept of the picture i think that it looks more mysterious with the flash on forming the shadows.

all of the above peices are my pleat pieces this is what i would like to base my final piece on i just think that it is the most interesting thing that i have done so far and has the best affect on the paper i just think that this is what i favour doing in terms of paper mechanics so i am going to explore this technique more.

the above pictures i made from a single piece of paper trying to make a piece of paper look really organic but it was alot harder then i thought it would be, i did like how the final peice turned out though i think that it does look quite organic even if it isn't overly complicated.

the piece i have done above is just me messing around with geometric shapes, i did the same shape over and over down a thin strip of paper to see what affect it would have and if it would look any good, i like what the outcome is mainly because i can constantly change it and it isnt very restricted which i think it a good aspect of this design.

The three above pieces are made from the same method as the pieces at the top of this post, i just tried to twist the pieces thought to see what happened and i think that it had quite a nice affect and that it looks quite organic , i like it but it is a hard piece to keep in postition because of the natural resistance of the paper.

the 3 peices above are made with the same a paper as the one at the very top but this time i tried to coil it and then bend and manipulate different pieces so that it looked different and more unique.

this piece is one of my favorites and i did it by accident, i misplaced this piece and then it got mangled but i still like it and thing that it looks very unique.
