Spiral pleats on a long strip of tissue foil, with two opposite points lifted to expose the underside. I normally don’t use tissue foil, but this sheet (made, I believe, by Mark Kennedy) was simply the first handy piece of paper of appropriate dimensions.

The simplest twisted pleat pattern tessellated. My estimate of the size was slightly off, so the folded 9 inch square just barely fit within the 6 by 6 inch surface available.

Further experiments with twisting pleats. The two sets of pleats here are twisted in opposite directions. These three (15, 16, 17) were folded from 8 inch squares. I had used pleat twisting a few times before, for example in some pieces shown here and here, but always with flattened square twists. In the current pieces, the pleats are twisted one by one and their intersections are not opened up. Inspiration: Paul Jackson’s new book (Folding Techniques for Designers) and Christine Edison’s folding at the OUSA convention.
