Playing with Paper

What I think is an interesting, yet simple design is my second sculpture, created by scoring a square piece of paper and bringing all corners to the middle. Although I would have liked to use this on a larger scale as a possible final piece, I found it difficult to secure the centre join , especially as the surrounding gaps were to small to fit a stapler into. Superglue would also not hold this together.

What I found particularly interesting about this piece is the way that I can create the image of the paper being smooth, which to look at, makes you think this must be extremely complicated.

Here I have decided to work with strips of paper, folding them in half and stapling them in the centre. As this design went on (as I added more strips), the design became harder to staple and I resorted to my last option, superglue.  After a while, the paper began to become 'immune' to the superglue, so I was left with this. This was as far as I could take this idea. In a way I am happy, as looking back I feel that this idea looks particularly messy, as well as simple. Immediately after looking at this idea, you are able to work out how it is constructed which I feel is not very interesting for the viewer.
