Origami Quotes

• The most extreme violation of the Western separation of the medium from the message is to be found in an art-form like Japanese origami. Whereas Western art focuses upon the freedom to move images around on paper or canvas to create fixed patterns, origami ignores the separation between the image and the paper. The paper becomes part of the image, and is twisted and folded until it is the picture, not merely the surface on which it lies. [Chapter 2, p. 7-8]

  [More quotes from "The Artful Universe"]

• [...] it looks like the product of an origami guru suffering from Tourette's [Syndrome].
