My introduction to the possibility of a career in origami came during the Geometric Folding Algorithms class I took in my last semester at MIT.
This blog post features a list of academic articles I’ve has published since starting Gathering Folds.
Crossroads Origami Tessellation
Posted by Madonna Yoder on
The ways that variations can be made are kinda endless.
You can change the spacing, switch a twist to the other side, change a position from closed to open or vice versa.
Or, in some cases, you can stick more twists in between the twists in your tessellation!

Woven Strips Origami Tessellation
Posted by Madonna Yoder on
When we start folding tessellations we're presented with a couple grid options - all of which are aligned with the edge of the paper in some way.
This fact is invisible in the way we talk about grids too.
We don't say "square grid aligned with the edges of the paper" - it's just "a square grid".

We don't usually think of tessellations as being changeable after they're folded, but this one is!The hybrid square twists that it's made of can be folded in one of two ways, making this twist a binary pixel.

Rotating Grids in Squares and Hexagons

You don’t have a laser cutter or Cricut scorer, but you still want to make stunning tessellations without guessing and iterating over and over. The good news is that there’s a fairly simple solution - rotated grids!
