Imagine a piece of tissue paper.

Coat it with cyanotype chemicals.

Fold it into an origami crane.

Let it be a crane for a while, in any place with a bit of light. Ignore it, play with it, whatever.

After a while, unfold it. Develop.

You'll get an image.

The image is the memory of it's experience as an origami crane.

Repeat. Every crane's experience - and hence every image - will be unique.

Here's 4 out of the >750 I've made so far.

Square image in shades of blue and white, showing a geometric pattern equivalent to the shapes produced in a square of paper after being folded into an origami crane and then opened. The folds define triangles, diamonds and other shapes. Some areas are dark blue, some white, some tones of blue. In each one, the shapes are the same, but the blue and white is different.
