Origami Tessellation: Any Way the Wind Blows
created by solvingorigamitessellations.com |
I've been attempting to expand my creativity in regards to my original origami tessellations. While I find it pretty easy to design new flagstone and collapse based tessellations, I do not so easily conceive of fully twist based ideas.
Many of my ideas incorporate multiple techniques including twists. But exclusively twist based tessellations do not come as easily. So I have been experimenting with that. Trying to expand my repertoire.
I've solved many twist based tessellations designed by other artists. This provides a good foundation.

So, recently, I've created a few new models that are all twists. They're a little simpler than my usual modus operandi. Anyway the Wind Blows is an easy tessellation, but I figure if I hone that skill, I can soon expand to more complicated ideas with them as well.
Some of it, I think, is just the nature of how a person thinks and perceives things. You can't alter who you are. If I see the paper in how the shapes collapse rather than how they twist, that's just who I am as an artist.
However, knowledge and learning plays a profound role as well. Nature vs. nurture is a factor here as much as it is in other aspects of life.
And I want to see, how well nurture can influence my creative process to move beyond what already comes naturally to me.
I still need to take a picture of my crease pattern for this. Will hopefully add it here soon. Until I do, you might want to see if you can reverse engineer this tessellation on your own. That's always a lot of fun.
Crease pattern added.
