摺紙和整經 warping and origami

After the 3D lotus is finished, I try more origami craft. Lotus is a most used symbol for mourning. Many people like to use it in their art works. I just find out one of my student makes fold lotus form. So I won't use lotus again. But origami is an alternative way of making 3D form beside tailoring. Some of my earlier works are sewn wire garment. It is very difficult to sew a garment out of woven wire. Because the wire fabric become sharp and dangerous when it is cut out.
立體蓮花完成後，也試了一些其他的摺紙，因為覺得也可以用摺紙的方法代替裁縫來形成立體的作品。這幾天發現也有學生用同樣的立體蓮花造型，紙摺蓮花實在是太常被用來象徵悼念，既然如此，以後就不要用紙摺蓮花了。以前金屬立體作品是用縫紉的方式成形，手織金屬布被剪開後布邊非常銳利，常常縫得雙手傷痕累累，另外也很不喜歡將手織好的布塊剪成一片片。

You can find some origami I have tried this week. Some materials were bought from an origami museum in Japanese airport (can't remember the name) many years ago. Strangely, origami project a feeling of cute and childish. But I want to use them to create a totally different atmosphere. It will be a challenge.
下面是這幾天利用時間嚐試的摺紙，有一些材料是多年前在日本過境轉機時，在機場的摺紙博物館買的。奇特的是摺紙往往給人一種可愛和童稚的感覺，而我想創造的氛圍卻是不同的。這會是個挑戰！

In the meantime, a new steel warp is beaming slowly.
同時整經也在緩慢的進行中，目前還在捲線的階段。和一般線材相比，整金屬線實在是一個痛苦的過程。
