Ankon shares a unique vision of a universe forming and dissolving from acts of folding in the creation of a fountain translated from paper to resin. To him, the ancient art of Origami is not only a child’s craft but a cutting edge cross-disciplinary technique that is being deployed by robotic engineers, space scientists, biotech researchers, mathematicians, computation experts, botanists, architects and artists to create solutions for the real world in the 21st Century. It is fi tting that this technique of folding be deployed to represent water, which takes the shape of any vessel it is poured into, but also exists in all the three states of solid, liquid and gas. There is nothing as fl exible, expansive and all powerful as water. There is nothing in this world that is not touched by a system of folds, one way or another
