Introduction
Like any art form, origami encompasses a wide range of different styles; from simple to complex, from realistic to caricature, from geometric to organic. Throughout the thirty years I have been folding paper, my creations have moved further and further toward the simple end of the spectrum. Every fold must earn its place and the end result should be elegant, thoughtful and clean. Origami, in my view, is about reducing a subject to basic elements; to capture the essence with as few folds as are necessary. Technique should never get in the way of artistry!
This book presents a selection of my designs representing my vision of origami. I appreciate many different styles of folding, but I believe you should always follow your instincts when creating. Don’t produce work with the aim of impressing other people. Inevitably, you will discover many models that do not meet your own standards. These should be set aside; maybe you can further refine them later. It is only by being ruthlessly self-critical that you can improve the quality of your output.
