The other two metamorphograms, now finished.

First was an argonaut, second a segmented shell, both designs by Japanese origami artist #TomokoFuse

I have plans for them, exploring the philosophical idea of vicarious memories. I.e. when we 'remember' our parent's early life, because they repeatedly told us about it.

Started some #metamorphogram (cyanotype mixed with origami) images.

Folded from archival tissue paper, which results in poor origami, but the image will be what I need.

Maple leaf, by Peter Engel. Argonaut and Flat Shell w/10 segments by Tomoko Fuse.

Exposing for... a while... in a contact frame.

Ably assisted by Border Collie.

Not all origami starts with a square of paper.

These spiral forms (based on Tomoko Fuse designs) are drawn in InkScape.

I print and join pieces to get an A2 size template.

Cut the form from A2 tracing paper. 'Trace' the lines with a pressing tool (e.g. dry pen nib).

Fold, to get the finished form. In this case, it's about 25cm tall.
