Print, laser, fold



Having photographed white paper with repetitive folds I used a section of the photographs to create new repeat patterns. I then printed this pattern onto a length of plain wallpaper (suitable for the scale) before then cutting and folding into the new pattern - confused?!

There were three challenges involved in creating this print:
1. Creating the Illustrator file to follow the pattern
2. How to laser cut from a piece that is larger than the laser and accurately match the cut to the print
3. Folding back the cuts on a large surface
