Luckily for us, even though Shafer did not succeed, he settled for a 5-pointed star instead. In his notes to the model, Shafer reports that it took him more than 10 years to diagram it because he kept searching for a way to fold a mathematically perfect 8-pointed star. One favorite of mine is Shafer’s Man in the Moon Watching a Shooting Star. Shafer reimagines the flapping bird with six variations, including a warrior crane with a sword attached to a wing.įrom there, Shafer moves on to a chomper and a food grinder with pointy teeth, a collection of spinners, a running nose (an athletic nose with feet, not mucus), and a “Familiar Liar” (Pinocchio with a nose that grows and shrinks). A fitting place to begin with performance origami is the flapping bird.

Origami Ooh La La! is a tad less wacky, but no less creative than Shafer’s first effort. His surfer on a wave (complete with an ominous shark fin) and his “man swatter” (a fly swatter but with an outline of a squished man) revealed a sense of humor matched by a talent for innovative design.

That book established Shafer as a master of the unexplored, slightly far-out possibilities inherent in a piece of paper.

It has been ten years since Shafer released his first book, Origami to Astonish and Amuse. In Shafer’s newest book, Origami Ooh La La!, he cleverly exploits the possibilities for transforming origami into an action-oriented art form, but be assured, you won’t need matches or a fire extinguisher. He’s even been known to set them on fire. Gaze at it, admire it, and photograph it, but touch it? Oh no-hands off, please.īy contrast, Jeremy Shafer doesn’t just touch his completed models he uses them as performance pieces.
