Folding Paper by Meher Mcarthur
Folding Paper: The Infinite Possibilities of Origami Art features the works of 43 leading origami artists from around the world. Among them are many of the best-known names in the origami world today: Brian Chan, Tomoko Fuse, Eric Joisel, Daniel Kwan, Michael LaFosse, Robert Lang, Linda Mihara, Jeannine Mosely, Nicolas Terry and Akira Yoshizawa.
"The variety and breadth of the medium are amazingly clearAnimals (including a stunning ball variation on paper cranes), abstract forms, even a house, all dazzle and will inspire artists. The text of the book is mostly academic, but Lang's essay on the math and physics of origami may intrigue some readers, especially when they are left gaping by the overwhelmingly complex, computer-generated "circle packing" he employs to create a grid for folding on paper. Readers are mostly here for the photos, and they are well worth the very reasonable price." --Publishers Weekly
"Origami isn't just child's play. It is a respected contemporary art form and an inspiration to scientists and engineers. Heck, the principles of origami were applied in the development of airbags for cars. "Folding Paper: The Infinite Possibilities of Origami" (Tuttle) by Meher McArthur, a curator of Asian art, and Robert J. Lang, a physicist turned origami artist, presents dozens of photographs of dazzling creations. The artworks run the gamut from representational (a dinosaur) to geometric (a spiked rhombic) and abstract. "Folding Paper" is a primer on the premier artists and the influence of this very old art form in modern research and design labs." --The Boston Globe
"Have you ever wondered how extreme origami can be? These examples from the book Folding Paper: The Infinite Possibilities of Origami will blow your mind with their intricacy and technique." --CraftFoxes blog
