Inside out

Today for my folding experiment, I chose cut pleats. The most exciting part of cut pleats is that the back of the paper moves to the front when folded. So today, I covered a sheet of paper with charcoal and then began the folding process. I divided the sheet into 16 sections vertically and horizontally. Then with a few cuts and folds, the back of the paper shows up in squares on the front of the page. I like the contrast of the white squares on a field of black. When I look at the photograph, it is impressive that even though I know it is three-dimensional, it appears like a charcoal drawing.
