This is colossal...

If you haven't heard of a website called thisiscolossal.com go have a look. We have been checking out the amazing artworks, so many of them have set my brain ticking....

Origami Masks and Tessellations by Joel Cooper...


Joe Coopers amazing origami pieces are not only eye catching wonderful artworks but imagine these pieces in fabric as a garment adorning a body. a shoulder piece, a bodice, a pocket? imagine them as a laser printed fabric, faces, textures and hidden pictures. The tessellating pattern of this piece reminds me of a kaleidoscope. How he manages such tiny detail is beyond me, such skill! Imagine this in colours or textural 3d fabric? The faces would be amazing! even in leather or plastic in a Thierry Mulgler style plastic moulded bra? or a Versace style Medusa head? My brain is thinking a huge full skirt which i could fold into ornate patterns..... or sleeves on  jacket?

If you want to look at more of Joel's pieces check out his flickr here.
