A cool story at Gizmodo by Robert Sorokanich. Filed to: ORIGAMI, 3/11/14 4:20pm
'Origami artist Sipho Mabona just pulled off an incredible feat of paper folding, turning a single 50 foot by 50 foot sheet of paper into a life-size paper elephant standing more than 10 feet tall. It was no doubt a painstaking process, but watching the artist and his team in process is strangely soothing. […]
The really fun part is seeing Mabona translate motions from the tiny sheet of paper in his hand, to the small-scale elephant model, to the 50-foot square of paper at his feet. It's about as close as we can get to peeking inside Mabona's mind, watching him figure out how to accomplish the next fold'.
