Paper and light have been a fascination since the beginning of my career. From folding screens to hot air balloons, lamps and lanterns to kites, there are numerous ways to view paper activated by light. This is a round-up of a few books I’ve collected over the years.

Some of us understand more than others how hard it is to make a buck. A family of Venezuelan immigrants to Colombia are repurposing what they deem as worthless bolivars (bucks) into origami-made paper wallets, belts and even purses as the currency plunges further in value. The technique looks like gum wrapper paper chains – did you make those as a kid?

I love these unique cut and layered paper pieces by artist Dylan Metrano.

Origami is being transformed into a engineering discipline, how cool is that? The ancient art of paper folding is showing promise for new technology that ranges from cancer-fighting drugs to foldable armor for police officers, and Suyi Li at Clemson University is hoping to take the practice to the next level in a new research project. His motto: Keep Calm and Origami On!

Art on Paper was recently in Manhattan. Did anyone get to it?
