Exhibiting artist Paul Jackson will discuss the growing influence of origami in contemporary design practice, from fashion to architecture. Using examples from around the world and from his many years of teaching design, Jackson will demonstrate how, in recent years, origami principles have been applied to materials other than paper, such as fabric, leather, plastic, and wood. He will offer reasons for this interest in origami, identify current trends, and suggest directions for the future. The lecture will be followed by a signing with the artist.
