Pliable, ephemeral, and easily manipulated with simple tools, paper
is a medium with which the artist can form three-dimensional shapes
quickly through precise folding and cutting. With precise
information on the whys behind 3-D paper sculpting and its methods,
plus hundreds of stunning photos of his works, acclaimed artist and
designer Richard Sweeney shows how the basic principles of form
making in paper can be useful for artists, architects, and fashion
designers. Follow Sweeney's engaging step-by-step analysis of the
techniques he uses in the creation of his internationally exhibited
work. Sweeney leads you through the three stages of his process,
from the initial conceptual stage (whether drawing on natural or
architectural forms for inspiration), to the basic shapes, and
finally to the folding techniques. Simple, clear instructions and
diagrams teach the building blocks: curved folding (symmetrical
curves, circular folding), curved pleating (parallel pleat,
reflection pleat, S curve, radiating pleat, crescent pleat), wet
folding, faceted pleating (twist, herringbone), and modular forms
(curved module, shell module, pleat module).
