Origami has gone far beyond cranes.
Artists who genuinely stopped me: Joel Cooper, Eric Gjerde, Tomoko Fuse, Christine Edison, Juho Könkkölä, Robert J. Lang.
From precise geometry to figures that look carved, not folded. Paper only — no cuts, no glue.
Who else should I know? And is anyone here actually folding?
@tanyelcakmak isn't that a typo? Should have been Robert J. Lang (not "Lung") 😉
@tanyelcakmak A few people here fold paper, e.g. https://zirk.us/@cyanotype, https://mastodon.social/@oschene and https://mathstodon.xyz/https://mastodon.social/@origamiviviane
Otherwise try searching for #origami in hashtags, profiles and posts in Mastodon, or try Lemmy https://lemmy.world/search?q=origami&type=All&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll&titleOnly=false
Outside fediverse, https://cfcorigami.com might have the kind of origami that you're looking for

I really enjoy Hideo Komatsu. Not spectacular, but very smart. Each model is different to fold.

@Marvin_Rouge Thank you for these — genuinely useful recommendations. "Not spectacular, but very smart" is a more compelling pitch than most. That tension between apparent simplicity and solved complexity is where the real craft lives.
I'll go through the CFC Origami profiles. And the Vietnamese folders — agreed, that school deserves its own category.
