Foreword by:
Dr. Robert J. Lang, a student of origami for over 40 years,
is recognized as one of the world's leading masters of the art and
one of the pioneers of the marriage of origami with mathematics and
science. He has authored or co-authored 13 books and lectures
widely on origami and its applications.
"The Japanese have long enjoyed creating within limited boundaries
of size and materials, from bonsai to netsuke, allowing narrowly
defined restrictions to fuel their creativity. Meher McArthur
provides a new survey of how artists and scientists worldwide have
amplified spectacularly the one tiny world of origami." --Hollis
Goodall, Curator of Japanese Art at the Los Angeles County Museum
of Art (LACMA)
"This book is for anyone who loves origami, looking at beautiful
folds and learning a bit more about the creation process. More
generally, actually, I think it's a wonderful book for anyone who
appreciates art…it also makes a perfect present for people close to
you to show them the potential of origami and it's not always
recognized place in art." --Sara Adams, for Origami USA's The
Fold
"The works and images are stunning and definitely the highlight of
this work." --Library Journal
