Repetition as a Transformative Element
Lea Gray is fascinated by origami. Each fold of the paper turns the original form into something more, with the final outcome—a complex combination of simple forms arranged in a beautifully organized, visually calming pattern. Gray’s love and study of origami began with simple projects using plain paper. From there, she moved into folding sheets of vellum with electric lights to illuminate the folds from within, creating patterns of refracted light in the surrounding environment. The combination of geometry, inner light and repetitious rhythm is what makes the final piece so alluring.
