After looking at Lu Shengzhong I decided to experiment with paper to disover some of its properties. I used a frog silhouette as a template to cut about 40 shapes from discarded commendations. I then layered the frogs to create a semi-random pattern using PVA glue. From a distance the shape of the cutou is not dclearly discernable and the piece looks like a mass of layered paper But on closer inspection the details of the cutting are apparent.
The spider-like creature is made form a starburst pattern. This demonstrates the strength of support that can be achieved when using multiple 'legs'. However this is unlikely to work on a larger scale due to the relative thickness of the paper. The inspiration for this came after looking at Haeckel's jellyfish.
The triangular experiment at the bottom was origionally meant to be a solid form but it was to small to construct properly. It collapsed and created an interesting layered form. This design is actually quite feasable for a large scale construction.
