Origami in a geological context
Created | Updated Mar 16, 2002
Traditional origami is the Japanese art of paper folding. The basic rules are that:
- The paper used should be a perfect square.
- No cutting, only folding is allowed.
- The end result should have been worth the time.
Sofia is 7 months old. She has created, amongst other things, a new discipline in the Origami world.
The new discipline is known as "Geological Origami". The rules of which are as follows:
- One piece of paper must be used. Unlike the traditional origami, the modern variant can use rectangular shaped
sheets of paper. The source of which can be from a variety of sources - covers ripped of past issues of The Economist,
unpaid telephone bills, etc. Frayed edges are permissible providing they add to the composition.
- Only folding, no cutting is allowed.
- The final composition must represent a geological feature in a tasteful, harmonious fashion.
Such subjects as boulders, rocks, representations of mountain ranges are typical.
Sofia is collaborating with another young artist to promote this art form.
