Between the folds

My wife really liked this documentary.

I am a pretty clusmy person, so I can only admire the skill and devotion of these people to their art.

Wow. I had no idea. On a technical level it’s remarkable.

But on aesthetics level, they are not lovely. So are they fine art? not really.

Thank you for this – we don’t watch much TV (we have a Gerry-rigged DVR based on LINUX and record our favorites only) so we missed it! From the first segment (prior to that posted):

“You and I were born from folding”

There is such depth of wisdom in science TV if only we religious types were trained to recognize it and conduct apologetics from the evidence before us – I too have a dream, that catechetics will one day be reformed – consider here the natural law of Up or Down “To be or not to be” to form a valley fold or peak fold ? That IS the question to pose to those who would have you follow a peculiar scrunched-up crumpled relativism! How would origami work in a universe without complementarity of up and down?

Origami as gateway to contemplation – love it!

And pulleeze guys in future show some respect for we lady catechists who do crafts (ok no to felt banners – as an aesthete I get that they fail the smell test)

Ties in well with Abbott’s Flatland also methinks….no? An Asian Plato’s spheres? I’m no philosopher … but there’s something of beauty in the forms, no?
