Andrew Ooi’s artworks are a combination of primitive design and novel application of Japanese joinery and origami techniques. Ooi paints studied shapes and patterns onto individual strips of environmentally-conscious handmade gampi-fiber papers he previously cut to size. He then folds the hundreds to thousands of painted strips into each other to create artworks with multiple planes.
