A wolf built from creasesOrigami hides a rule inside its beauty. Where folds meet at a single point on paper that still lies flat, the number of mountain creases and valley creases always differs by two. It holds for a paper crane, and it holds for a paper wolf.This design borrows that grammar and shows the working. The head is split down the middle on a black ground. One half is a fine white lattice of triangles and nothing else, the creases without the paper. The other half is filled in with broad flat planes of grey, taupe, brown and cream, each shaded a step apart from its neighbour, so the muzzle, the brow and the ear read as folded sheet rather than fur, with a single amber eye set into the solid side.Sharp at twenty pacesFaceted artwork travels well. The filled planes are wide and the tonal jumps between them are decisive, so the wolf keeps its jaw line and the direction of its stare from right across the sand. Come closer and the same shapes fall apart again into a puzzle of triangles, which is the pleasure of it.High quality digital 3D printing keeps the boundary between one facet and the next clean and holds the lattice lines to a hair, and that boundary is where the whole illusion of folding lives.The practical partMicrofibre, round, in a choice of 100 cm or 150 cm across, 420 g.
