Wick Telgenkamp
From Origami to Solid Wood
While researching modular systems and repeatable patterns, Wick Telgenkamp got inspired by traditional origami techniques and their capacity to create complex three-dimensional structures from simple folds.
His work aims to translate the illusion of folded paper into solid wood, merging origami’s intricate geometry with meticulous craftsmanship. The piece invites viewers to engage and explore it while attempting to dissect its construction.
Contrary to the idea that new designs must be shaped by technological means, the piece instead highlights the time, skill and soul embedded in handmade objects.
