http://www.ericjoisel.com/Site/humans.html I have worked in clay, stone and wood before working in paper. I prefer creating human figures more than animals. Before I was able to attempt folding a complete human figure, I practiced making masks and faces for many years. This was more than just production, it was the process of breathing life into the paper and most importantly, partially improvising with every model so that each one was distinctive. This is different than traditional origami where every step is exactly defined so that folders could produce accurate copies. All my models are completely unique. I also experiment with unusual materials, for example, some of my “paper” models are fabricated in aluminum. http://www.ericjoisel.com/Site/humans.html#0 13b0eedc-00d0-4e66-9d25-89cba85edd94 http://www.ericjoisel.com/Site/humans_files/Media/MASK-1/thumb.jpg http://www.ericjoisel.com/Site/humans_files/Media/MASK-1/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px;
