Many people should have heard of "Elements of Geometry", even if they have not read it. After all, this is a book second only to the Bible in Western countries. Oliver Byrne created many illustrations for the famous "Elements of Geometry". Today, the paper sculpture artist Helen Friel presents the geometric configurations where this knowledge remains on the surface of the book in the form of 3D paper sculptures. It also moved us away from the abstract understanding of plane language, and truly felt the magic of "Elements of Geometry" from a three-dimensional perspective. You know, if you are not interested in mathematics and geometry, you may have a nervous breakdown when you are reading "Elements". If you are not able to appreciate Helen Friels 3D paper sculpture "Elements" illustrations, everything will become Be different.
In fact, the original author of "Elements" was the famous ancient Greek mathematician Euclid. If you have to find the most influential mathematical work in the world, then it must be "Elements". The legacy of "Elements" is not only that Euclid had a genius brain, but also the crystallization of wisdom summed up in the production practice of all working people. Helen Friel discovered the key to giving soul to paper art works from the illustrations of "Elements", which also made her very fascinated by the changing geometric shapes, and finally designed and presented them in the form of 3D paper sculptures. It comes out, allowing us to understand "Elements of Geometry" from another angle.
What is even more touching is that Helen Friel designed and produced these 3D paper sculptures in order to realize her own tribute to "Elements of Geometry"A dream, but also to raise money for Battersea Dogs Home by displaying these works. The paper art works designed and produced by such caring people are even more fascinating because they integrate their deepest feelings into the works. This kind of love that is like a tide is reflected in these paper art works. It flows in the middle, giving people a sense of the depth of the cold geometric shapes, and also retains the warmth that can warm the world, but the way Helen Friel chose is full of creativity and truly breathtaking.
In terms of the production process itself, Helen Friels works are mainly completed through the origami method, supplemented by some pasting, which also allows us to see the 3D three-dimensional paper sculptures in action. Diversity and wonder in form and composition. As long as everyone likes 3D paper sculptures, they can use the method they are accustomed to or the method they are good at to express their ideas. As long as the concept is novel enough and the creativity is bright enough, every carefully crafted work can win everyones attention. approval, and resonate in the hearts of viewers. Such magical things not only belong to paper art, but also belong to all other types of industrial arts.
