The invention of paper shaped currency, communication, history, and religion. And yet, perhaps because of its widespread accessibility today, paper is underestimated as an artistic medium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist Matthew Shlian has always recognized paper’s significance as a medium and message, and as a material for experimentation and understanding. In his hands, engineering, science, and geometry form stunning and unexpected art. Folded, tessellated, compressed, extrapolated, two-dimensional paper becomes three-dimensional sculpture. Since he began in 2004, Shlian’s signature paper engineering has gained international recognition and led to collaborations with Apple, SUPREME, Shinola, Herman Miller, Warp Records, Sesame Street, and exhibitions around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eUnfolding\u003c\/span\u003e is the first monograph of Shlian’s genius, compiling his most important work over the past decade.
