I began folding and unfolding origami to examine the structures and fold patterns.
I looked at artists like Dorothoea Rockburne, who has explored folding in fine art; Jacob Hashimoto, who creates installations consisting of hundreds of bamboo and paper kites; and Christo (and his late wife Jeanne-Claude), who creates large scale projects like covering buildings and momuments in fabric.
Making and draping inspired by the internal structures and mechanisms of objects like kites, umbrellas, and tents.

Various fabrics fused together, cut into squares, then folded and pressed in different patterns.
Draping with the square and sewn, garment-like pieces to experiment with shape and form.
