Invited guest of the Hungarian Origami Society

As an invited guest, the Croatian Origami Society participated in the international origami convention of the Hungarian Origami Society, which took place in the city of Pécs in Hungary, from 6 to 8 August 2021. As a participant, I held workshops and presented my works enjoying the pleasant company of colleagues and fellow origami artists. I had the special privilege to have a photo of my mask model presented on the official poster of the convention, and a photo of the stork model on the cover of the annual magazine of the Hungarian Origami Society.

Hrvatsko origami društvo je kao pozvani gost sudjelovalo na internacionalnoj origami konvenciji Mađarskog origami društva koja se održala u gradu Pećuhu u Mađarskoj, od dana 6. – 8. kolovoza 2021. godine. Kao učesnik održao sam radionice i predstavio svoje radove uživajući u ugodnom društvu kolegica i kolega origamista. Imao sam posebnu privilegiju da fotografija mojeg modela maske bude predstavljena na službenom plakatu konvencije, a fotografija modela rode na naslovnici godišnjeg časopisa Mađarskog origami društva.

The Origami Diagram Book contributing artist

The Origami Diagram Book by Beth Johnson & Ilan Garibi was published this summer as a mini anthology of origami diagrams. Among the 28 never-before-published original designs by various authors, my two-color stork model also found a place. I welcome the idea of a book that promotes an original authorial approach to diagramming versus a computer one that is more or less craftily standardized and as such impersonal, as an inventive step in the development of origami art.

Ovog ljeta je izašla knjiga „The Origami Diagram Book“ autora Beth Johnson & Ilan Garibi zamišljena kao mini antologija autorskih origami dijagrama. Između 28 nikad objavljenih originalnih radova različitih autora mjesto je našao i moj dvobojni model rode. Ideju knjige koja promovira originalan autorski pristup dijagramiranju nasuprot kompjuterskom koji je više manje zanatski standardiziran i kao takav inpersonalan, pozdravljam kao inventivni korak u razvoju origami arta.
