Decorative art and geometry combine in the fascinating folded cloth technique pioneered by professional artist Palmer. Following an introduction to the concept and inspirations behind these tessellations rendered in fabric, Rutzky (Kirigami: Exquisite Projects To Fold and Cut) and Palmer present 15 step-by-step projects that demonstrate the variety of articles that can be created using Shadowfold techniques. These projects aren't for the faint of heart—this type of work requires a good deal of patience and attention to detail—but the remarkable results include both wearable art and art for the home.
