I wish Mary lived in my neighborhood because I need to build a nicho that has some black and white checkerboard. One year, the honoree for the. Day of the Dead event was a well known person in Des Moines' restaurant world and one of his restaurants was a 50's diner.

Here is a father and son who are dovetailing math and art. It's from the Craft in America series.

The sculptures look so complicated, but when they show how they make them - it looks super easy and it's something that I will be trying.
You may find more examples by doing a search for curve creased origami on Google.
I’ve seen the folded origami in gallery recently … I really liked the video, what a wonderful collaboration of father/son and of mathematics/art.
ReplyDeleteDoes one need to live in your neighborhood to make a nicho?
ReplyDeleteI'd happily send you one if you sent me specs.
Thank you for the kind offer. The way this works - the specs change daily - as we figure out which ones need more space and which ones need to accommodate the larger ones. It's like a big puzzle.... but I would encourage you to just go ahead and build a nicho honoring your own special people.
