Martin Taylor

Martin’s metal origami sculptures capture the playful energy of their subjects with carefully placed geometric facets. The sculptures are designed on the computer and hand made at Martin’s studio. Martin’s work explores geometric representations of dancing foxes, flying sea turtles, and prowling jaguars among others

Martin graduated from The University of California at Berkeley with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. While working as a hardware prototyping engineer at Apple Martin became interested in using origami techniques to quickly create structures from flat, laser-cut parts. The metal origami techniques developed by Martin allow intricate contemporary forms to be rendered from metal with the same efficient elegance as paper.
