So, a properly "zen" approach to playing with the Morris work is to take one of her paintings with embedded crease pattern ... and fold it. I am sure she, and snarky pros, would be shocked at the interplay of the accidental coloring and the underlying 3d structure. I am sure the intrepid origam

Hi Galen, >>Dennis Walker has a theorem that the number of petals in a Palmer Flower Tower must be greater than 5 (or else a crease length is negative, can't have that). I possibly wasn't clear! That theorem stands for *that* form of flower tower and the restrictions thereby. Very happy t

Dennis Walker has a theorem that the number of petals in a Palmer Flower Tower must be greater than 5 (or else a crease length is negative, can't have that). The only way to defeat a theorem is to escape the hypothesis ... which is what I have done. By negating some of the conditions of the theor
