This piece uses pleated paper to form this very intriguing shape with it's multiple different types of pleat all coming together to create a free standing structure; although I like this piece I don't think it would be anything I would attempt myself, mainly because of it's complexity. This is also different from things I have looked at previously where a shape is created from a single flat sheet of paper; I would assume that this is made up of multiple sheets.

Here we can see what looks like an amazing piece of work which indeed it is although it is actually more simplistic than what it seems to be on the surface, it is actually made of up multiples of the same 3D paper shape. This is an idea that I could take forward into my own work as these kind of pieces can be considered as being "showstoppers" and if done correctly look great.

I have included this piece of work because I think it is amazing how something so delicate can be made of paper yet be strong enough to hold it's shape, although this is somewhat ascthetically pleasing, for my project it wouldn't be functional I don't think as I would need some form of surface area to place text or image on to.

In this image we can see some of Sweeney's development work for the pieces above and over similar projects he did at the same time.
