back to the fold.

"tessellations, tessellations, spinning, magnetic..."

"tessellations" always makes this song float through our head.

*quick 2 minute Fosse style dance break to that intro...

Our brain never shuts off, as a result, we tend to overextend ourselves professionally and socially .

*we're nothing if not honest.

To retain at least a corner of sanity, we've tried to make it to the dance studio at least once a week to work out all the creative gremlins and regain focus.

A few years back, we aggravated an old hamstring injury while showing off in a ballet class so we took up meditative origami to soothe our creative restlessness while we healed. 

*we loved it, then, we kinda fell off...

Randomly we picked up this gorgeous origami kit while procuring an emergency Starbucks from the B&N cafe and promptly motored through all the shapes, monkeys, dragons, mockingbirds, coral fish, all of them. The last part of the guide book was dedicated to origami tessellations. WOW. We've been hooked ever since. It's crazy how creating something so intricate can be so calming...

Anyway, all of that was to say please get into Andrea Russo's work. 

*Simply stunning.
