I recently taught Paul Jackson’s Cut Pleats Across Cut Pleats technique applied to alter book pages at the Form and Function From Afar Conference. You can still sign up and watch the recorded content from three days of presentations. Here I am showing the folding and cutting steps we took to make the finished piece, which combines imagery from both sides of a sheet of paper on a single side. It is a magical way to transform paper and images into something new. The possibilities for pleat placement as well as alterations you can make after folding and twisting are nearly endless.
This blog is a supplement to the Form and Function From Afar Conference video. If you are having problems following with just the photos and text here I recommend you check out my video at the conference.
