When Ever I Think Of Paper Folding,

I always think of origami,

 the word is Japanese, literally meaning to fold (oru) paper (kami),

  but here is a new slant on the art form from English artist Richard Sweeney, 

 it’s hard to believe that some of these 3D sculptures came to life from just from paper,

but the Wakefield, England-based artist works primarily with a ruler and cutter to bend fold and glue together his complex sculptures, especially impressive are his pleated sculptures, which often don’t even use glue to achieve their three-dimensional terrain look,

his works range from table-top size to floor-to-ceiling installations, Sweeney is currently part of a touring show titled Above the Fold and for those lucky folks in the Netherlands, he’ll be showing his work at the CODA Museum in Apeldoorn this summer, all of these from just paper scissors and a ruler, amazing!
