Check out these awesome paper sculptures formed by pleat tessellations, all created by mathematics and computer science professor, Goran Konjevod whose inspiration came from the paper artist Paul Jackson. My favorite is the baboon head.
Excerpt from his website:
“Most of my pieces so far are abstract shapes naturally formed by the tension of the paper when multiple layers of paper are arranged according to regular or irregular patterns. In that sense, they could almost be said to be discovered, rather than invented or designed. In particular, the pieces shown in my Pleat Tessellation gallery pages have been developed from a single urform discovered by Paul Jackson. The experience of folding these pieces has helped me begin to understand how particular fold sequences interact and in a few cases I have been able to visualize the final shape before starting to fold.”
