Acknowledgements  The form is one of Guy Petzal’s simpler Ullagamis. A single piece of paper was cut and folded to make each model (plus the mount). The dots embody a mathematical pattern known as a golden ratio Fibonacci sequence, also seen in nature in  sunflowers or pine cones.

One thought on “Fibonacci x Kirigami

  1. Love this, Bill! I agree about the brighter colors, and I’d love to know more about the relative size of the dots…they really add to the energy of the piece!
