Dear origami friends,

I've just finished the documentation for an artwork exhibited at the Alhondiga 
in Bilbao in July 2013. 

The work is called "Light is Time, Folds are Space" and it's a meditation on 
the visual effect of light and folds.

It's different to my earlier oribotic works as instead of animating the folded 
form I am animating light. It's 6m wide and fills up your visual field when 
standing in front of it. The components are made from laser cut and scored 
polypropylene and the folding patterns were made from a simple software 
algorithm in Rhino to change the value of one angle in the crease pattern for 
each vertical row. The pattern has higher peaks at one end of the wall and 
lower peaks at the other, so as to create an incremental sculptural form.

It's hard to really capture the experience of seeing the work in person, but 
the video does how how much visual variance one simple pattern and light can 
make. 

Best, Matthew.
