{"product_id":"unfolding-matthew-shlian-9780500296981","title":"Unfolding","description":"A complete retrospective of the paper engineer and artist Matthew Shlian, documenting a decade of unrivalled and unexpected creativity.     Paper engineer and artist Matthew Shlian has always recognized the material’s potential for experimentation. Folded, tessellated, compressed, extrapolated, two-dimensional paper becomes three-dimensional sculpture in beautiful and unexpected ways.   ‘My process is extremely varied from piece to piece. Often I start without a clear goal in mind, working within a series of limitations. For example on one piece I’ll only use curved folds, or make my lines this length or that angle, etc. Other times I begin with an idea for movement and try to achieve that shape or form somehow.’   Unfolding is Shlian’s first comprehensive monograph. A journey into the new possibilities of folding technology, the intricate complexities of Islamic patterns, and the sheer potential offered by a sheet of white paper, it celebrates a humble material, on the edge of its existence, elevated to timeless form and possibility.","brand":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51077451481376,"sku":"9780500296981","price":29.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780500296981.jpg?v=1781132239","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/unfolding-matthew-shlian-9780500296981","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
