African Elephant
Designed: 2015
Diagrams: Origami Nature Study
This model is intrinsically linked with the Asian Elephant. Both were designed head first. In fact, I used the same test sheet and flipped it over 180° and folded the head from the tail side of the Asian species to form the African. Utilizing what I call the tilted-axis-grid meant that the two designs could use similar molecules and end up completely different...or to put it another way, they would have to use a completely different base in order to end up similar.
