Folding Space Ship by ottoGraphic
In this screen printed picture book, Folding Space Ship is about leaving the problems of the world behind in a folded space ship. A playful artist’s book with strange angles, windows and hidden areas, this work features a creative layout and unique illustration.
Folding Space Ship is the first in the series of ‘Crosscut-fold’ booklets.
“I invented the Crosscut-fold technique after observing tulip leaves and the way they fold in on themselves. The format is basically a diagonal Leporello, which, when folded, fits neatly into a postcard sized format.” - Otto Dettmer
4.5” x 6.25”
