Inside Out Origami Tessellation

 

Inside Out Tessellation

As promised, this is my additional manipulation of my Inclined Planes Tessellation. It's the same design posted previously, but taken a few steps further. 

Essentially, all I did was take a bunch of the folds and reverse them. 

Reverse folds are pretty common in standard origami. Like when you're folding a cat or a sheep. They are less prevalent in origami tessellations, but they are sometimes used.

A reverse fold is just as the name implies. You turn it inside out. It can be employed in many ways to change the structure of a tessellation. 

However, with your typical twist based folds, reversing is just a matter of chocie during the inital process. Many of the folds are an either/or type of deal. 

With some more complex tessellations you may only have that option after the folding is complete. As is the case here. 

Robin Scholz's triphilia is a really good example. 

This tessellation is another one that takes that same approach.
