Precious Metal Series (2021)

by Erik Demaine and Martin Demaine

This series visualizes the folding of precious metals through the folding of paper infused with mica to give it a surface shimmer (Stardream paper, made in Italy by the Gruppo Cordenons fine paper mill). Intentional folding defects give the look of hammered metal.
