Organic Folding by Paul Jackson

Organic Abstract

Originally uploaded by sipmab.

So I’ve been doing a lot of organic pleat folding lately, and several people have mentioned to me that what I’m doing resembles work done by Paul Jackson.

This led me to go back and look through some of his work- you can see his gallery here. It’s really just amazing stuff.

I’m trying to head down a slightly different path, but his work is very inspiring- I’d love to see more of it!

This image is from sipmab’s photostream on Flickr, from the Hangar 7 origami expo. It’s one of Paul Jackson’s organic pieces. Much thanks for posting and sharing this on Flickr!
