It was my painting teacher, Jill Pottle, who planted the seed in my head of somehow combining my passion for origami with my painting.

She unleashed an obsession. I love painting and I love pattern and I started to really explore making these large sheets of transformations and seeing what happened when I cut them up and folded them. I have only recently started to get results that I am really happy with, although I discovered that I often loved the sheets I created as works of art before they were cut up, and I would sometimes regret cutting them up. But it has all been part of the bigger exploration that is going on.
