dear o-listers, Firstly, thanks to many of you who gave periodic advice and opinions when I queried the list. Each time was most helpful and insightful, and I often omitted to thank everyone for their thoughts, so please consider yourself most graciously thanked!
By way of thanks and for general interest, here a link to the thesis free for download: http://hdl.handle.net/1959.13/1397831 From there you can download the thesis free of charge, all compressed its only 20MB, I suggest a large volume of caffeinated beverage if you plan on serious reading. If you are practically minded, skip to the latter part of the thesis, therein lies the fun stuff, namely the two techniques that propelled the later research, Fold Printing in chapter 6. and Fold Mapping in chapter 5. It was very much a practical doctorate, I spent most of my time making systems for origami, designing processes and creating prototypes. Normally this type of document would have been shorter as creative disciplines allow an exhibition as part of the assessable outcomes. However, I really wanted the PhD to leave a strong trace for others to follow and extend upon, so I embarked on the more formal thesis approach. I do hope some of you find it of value to your own work. There are also many videos that accompany chapter 7 (the creative outcomes), so please enjoy them! best, Matthew
