I read once on an origami page to always wash your hands. Then this morning as I was considering what to fold it occurred to me that dirty hands might just make folding more visual.
Dirty Hands from BYU-Idaho Art Dept on Vimeo.
Boths sides of the paper turned out very different. I enjoyed discovering that dome areas on the back of the paper stayed completely clean throughout the process.

Module 003 | It takes 12 modules to make a sphere. The sphere is very light and is about the size of a softball. The module has 5 arms. I created one arm and then rotated it 72° around a center point to create the module shown below.
Module 003 | All 12 modules are cut from one letter size (text weight) piece of paper. The hooks are too little small. I need to make them larger next time.
note | I am beginning this exploration building with modules. If you have some interest in the subject, please contact me and share what you are doing.

M002 | Vase
Bottom Closed | I left the vase in the living room over night and when I saw it in the morning my daughter had made a new variation by closing the vase and turning it over.

The Faculty Art Show opened tonight in the Spori Gallery on the campus of Brigham Young University–Idaho. It was wonderful to see so many people turn out. It was fun to see many good friends and students.
This is one of the pieces that I entered. It is a modular painting on wood cubes. It is bright but my wife thinks that everything I do is kind of gray. So I brightened it up compared to my usual standard.
Each block is the same and the can be combined in unique and different ways.
It was well received and has been worth the effort to get it finished.
If you are in Rexburg, come and see the show. There is some very good work from the faculty. It will be up through 5 March 2015. If you do come to the show let me know what you think.
I am going to change the pattern while the show is hanging. You can follow it on Instagram at #woodblockpainting.
