Origamic Textiles

I wanted to experiment more with the concept of triangles, by researching origami I found that the triangles are the linking element to create bigger and more extravagant shapes.  I started to create these triangles and wanted to incorporate the use of neon and pattern.

I wanted to use neon colours because I like the way it stands out, neon on to me, makes me think of partying and fun, carefree people.  From events like the Full Moon Party in Koh Phangan people paint their bodies with neon paint as an expression and to say they've been there and done that.  I've never really classified neon as a colour or that it should be used in any form of art, I like the way in which the origami triangles I've done have turned out I think there interesting with the use of the colour and pattern used. 

While doing some research I came across Sarah Kelly who is an artist who works with paper, she uses paper to create wonderful pieces of jewellery.  Paper is a strong, durable material which can be used in many creative ways.
