LOOMING SHELTER
A DESERT X PARALLEL PROJECT
FEBRUARY 9 TO APRIL 21 2019
Opening Reception on February 9th from 12pm to 3pm
From 1:00 – 1:30, during the opening reception, Jeff Morrical will demonstrate the Miura folding pattern he used in the paper sculptures on display at Looming Shelter.
About Jeff Morical...The work of Los Angeles-based architect and artist Jeff Morrical incorporates single sheet paper sculptures shaped by folds and gravity. Inspired by his background in architecture, Jeff is driven to find form, structure, and pattern in everyday materials. He uses drafting software to design two-dimensional patterns and graphics on large custom sheets of paper that correspond with the three-dimensional forms created through the folding process. This synthesis of patterns and folds results in light and whimsical paper forms that take on a life of their own.
LOOMING SHELTER will be open to the public on...
