We then had to manipulate the paper in various ways to create different sculptures. I created 3 different designs which I took home where I could photograph them against a blue background with good lighting.
This is my first sculpture. I focused on curving the paper around. The shape and curvature makes a more organic form making the sculpture reminiscent of a shell.
For my second sculpture I rolled up the paper and taped together alternating segments. It reminded me in a way of a Chinese paper lantern.
For my final design, I folded the paper in half before curving it around. I think this sculpture looks like a sea anenome or a chrysanthemum flower, with each fold looking like a petal.
Paper engineer and architect Yoshnobu Miyamoto from Japan creates many designs, also with similar lines to those I have worked with today. Here are some examples of his work:
I like his work as it is very intricate. I also like his use of light in one of the sculptures to create different colours and shadow.
