Origami Avant-Garde Paper Jewelry

How has modern society and fashion embraced changes in Jewelry tradition?
How do artists use what is accessible to create something that is new and exciting?



The avant-garde (from French, "advance guard" or "vanguard", literally "fore-guard") are people or works that are experimental, radical, or unorthodox with respect to art, culture, or society.  It is frequently characterized by aesthetic innovation and initial unacceptability.
​
The avant-garde pushes the boundaries of what is accepted as the norm or the status quo, primarily in the cultural realm. The avant-garde is considered by some to be a hallmark of modernism, as distinct from postmodernism.  Many artists have aligned themselves with the avant-garde movement, and still continue to do so, tracing their history from Dada through the Situationists and to postmodern artists such as the Language poets around 1981.

Your Project Challenge:

Create a sculptural paper avant-garde piece of jewelry that depicts a sense of movement or contrast.  

http://www.paperphine.com/?p=3315

Find an old book, novel, dictionary, encyclopedia, etc.  that you feel good about destroying - something with sheets of paper that fold nicely and will hold its form when folded.  You may also use blank sheets of paper if you have any.  Use whatever you can find, but magazine pages and newspaper will probably give you problems.  The printed word can be a great design element that has many aesthetic possibilities.

Use Origami techniques to fold paper into forms you can use for an Avant Garde piece of Jewelry!  String the forms you create together using a piece of string or necklace.  If you do not have string or a necklace, get creative - the more "out there" and different your work can be, the more "Avant-Garde" it will be!!!

Also, If you struggle folding paper into origami, or just plain hate it...you can try to "build" paper forms with tape.  Only try to hide the fact you used tape.  Masking tape or white hockey tape would work best.  Glossy tape is a no no.
