Hi folks! Join us tomorrow where we talk with *Dave Brill *on the 13th episode of Origami Talk.
*About David Brill:* David Brill <http://www.brilliantorigami.com> was introduced to origami when he learned the traditional flapping bird as a 5 year old in the early '50s. He joined the British Origami Society in 1974, and met many other enthusiasts who encouraged him to develop his own designs. He was BOS Chairman from 1995 to 2004. His book Brilliant Origami was published in 1996 and sold more than 25000 copies before going out of print 10 years later. In 2017 he was elected BOS President, a non-executive role running for three years. He has worked in many styles of origami: representational (animals, figures, scenes), geometric (unit constructions), practical (boxes and containers). His origami work is influenced by his other main artistic activity as an oil painter: for him, each activity enriches the other. He has travelled worldwide to share origami at conventions and exhibitions, and maintains that origami knows no barriers, neither linguistic, nor political, nor cultural. Since his earliest experiments with origami as a child, he’s still surprised by the extraordinary results obtainable from the simplest raw material. The folder has no need for any equipment, simply the paper and his hands. Indeed, the restrictions of the square of paper and the unwritten rules of origami (no cutting, gluing, or decoration) encourage the folder to overcome apparently impossible technical constraints. After many years, he’s still intrigued by origami’s endless possibilities - by unexpected movements of the paper while folding, and by the results obtained, either extraordinarily complex or daringly simple. *About tomorrow's session:* Dave loves stories - about the origami creative process, about meetings with origami personalities, about the evolution of a particular design, about influences to and from other areas of life... etc. Join us to hear some of his stories, and maybe to contribute some of your own.
