From London - base “ paper engineer ” ( paper engineer!)Helen Frielcomes this originative appeal of colourful folding geometrical design . The name of the collection ? “ Here ’s looking at Euclid . ” GEOMETRY PUNS ! We must have these .
The paper carving appeal have its intake ( and colour scheme ) from mathematicianOliver Byrne ’s The Elements of Euclid , a Quran ’ whose caption reads:”In which color diagrams and symbols are used or else of alphabetic character for the cracking ease of learners . ”
Friedel explains why she drew on Byrne ’s Elementsin a late interview with ROCKPAPERINK :
The books were issue in 1847 but the color and clean stemma could be from today . Byrne also simplify Euclid ’s proofs by using color instead of letter and number . It ’s a more visual and challenging means to describe the geometry . I sleep with anything that simplifies . I find it very likeable !
The colors arrive directly from Byrne ’s exemplification . The primary colors are really adorable , brilliant and very reminiscent of Mondrian . Byrne was definitely out front of his clock time [ Ed . tone : It ’s true;Byrne ’s illustrations are utterly beautiful , and signally modern ] . He was a moment of an type .
Below are a few examples of Friedel ’s carving juxtaposed with their 19th Century counterparts . As far as I can tell , the existent templet for these structures are not uncommitted for leverage ( the procedure behind their creation actually look rather involved ) ; their likeness , however , is useable in the physique of some pretty snazzy business concern cards ( pictured above ) , which you may nibble uphere .
