Moving on from the origami firework design, I decided to explore another method of origami which is actually called the kaleidoscope. This time, I decided to focus fully on the structure of the piece then focus on the colours secondly to ensure that enough experimentation was carried out to deliver the right method of folding and most importantly, that the origami piece is achievable on a larger scale.
The fold itself requires precision and accuracy which thankfully, I enjoy doing and feel like I can deliver to produce a higher level of maquette and started off by using plain white card to really emphasize the folds and the transformation of the origami kaleidscope.
After a successfull attempt at recreating the origami kaliedoscope, I began experimenting with scale gradually increasing the overall size of the piece itself which is influenced more by the width rather than the height of the paper. The width needs to be 4x the height of the paper in order to create this, then half of the height needs to be folded horizontally, vertically and diagonally.
Out of the above three transitions successfully achieved through the origami kaliedoscope, I feel the first transition works best visually and would be achievable on a larger scale by focusing on one rotation to capture the essense of making the familiar unfamiliar as we are used to controlling the kaliedoscope to produce eye catching symmetries and designs and by disallowing this, I am ultimately creating an unfamiliar aspect of the kaleidoscope itself. By experimenting with materials, I could potentially create the idea of movement through the ability to see through the structure allowing the sharp lines to transend and project the perception of a kaleidscopic appearance through a focus on linear and geometric shapes alongside the unfamiliar elements of origami and a 3D appearance.
its really amazing
