{"product_id":"9780500296981","title":"Unfolding : The Paper Art and Science of Matthew Shlian","description":"\u003cp\u003eA complete retrospective of the paper engineer and artist Matthew Shlian, documenting a decade of unrivalled and unexpected creativity. Paper engineer and artist Matthew Shlian has always recognized the material’s potential for experimentation. Folded, tessellated, compressed, extrapolated, two-dimensional paper becomes three-dimensional sculpture in beautiful and unexpected ways. ‘My process is extremely varied from piece to piece. Often I start without a clear goal in mind, working within a series of limitations. For example on one piece I’ll only use curved folds, or make my lines this length or that angle, etc. Other times I begin with an idea for movement and try to achieve that shape or form somehow.’ Unfolding is Shlian’s first comprehensive monograph. A journey into the new possibilities of folding technology, the intricate complexities of Islamic patterns, and the sheer potential offered by a sheet of white paper, it celebrates a humble material, on the edge of its existence, elevated to timeless form and possibility.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52904802517301,"sku":"EB_DE0700_G09-02_AD","price":210.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0971\/7773\/1381\/files\/9780500296981-1_8da0f512-1a06-4d54-b99e-f6456591596a.jpg?v=1790824332","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.ae\/ja\/products\/9780500296981","provider":"Books Kinokuniya UAE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
