Unfolding

Before I started to create my video I looked at all the things I made, and there were two common denominators that stood out in particular. The first is the importance of the process, and the second is the transformation from 2D to 3D.

When I start creating an object it is hard for me to imagine what it will look like so the initial step is always a prototype made of paper. This helps me understand how to continue working in metal. I try to give a three-dimensional feel to the two-dimensional paper through various manipulations of the material.

In the video I chose to show my thought process and how working with paper parallels working with metal.
