Artistic Origami
A Folded Canvas
In Japan origami is not an art form, it may be ceremonial, but it is not thought of as art. Some look at the intricate pieces that are created and can only see something of beauty and worthy of the term art form.
Artistic origami is thought to be the form of origami that can not be reproduced. It is the final form that the artist uses paper to express an object. In mathematical origami, or even traditional origami, that produce repeatable crease patterns that any folder may follow to produce what the designer intended. Artistic origami does not necessarily bi-sect or tri-sect angles, its folds are not calculated, rather felt.
Artistic origami is anything that stretches beyond the definition and rules that encompass modern origami. The use of different mediums, such as fabric, would constitute stretching the definition. The importance is that origami is meant to be enjoyed in whatever form you choose to follow, either precise or artistic, the esthetic value is to those that create, those that fold, and those that choose to enjoy the final product.
