Paper boat studies

A story
in one sheet.

A paper boat, an open fold, a place to begin.

Choose a fold
PAPER / WATER / SPACE

Begin with
an open surface.

A fold gives a flat sheet a new direction. The empty space inside matters as much as the edge.

A base
holds the shape.

Follow the lower edge from bow to stern. Its long line gives the small boat a place to settle.

Open boat with distinct base and bow
Triangular sail and folded hull

An opening
catches the light.

One face turns toward you. Another falls into shadow. A single fold creates both.

The line continues
outside the boat.

A wake in the margins.

Use an echo of the hull line to keep the surrounding space connected.

A crease toward the bow.

A sharp line can guide the eye without closing every edge.

Keep it on paper.
