A Fishy Tail

Many (many) years ago, my good friend Mick Guy showed me an Escher Fish design he had created from a 2×1 rectangle. Clearly, the challenge was there to do the same from a square, which I duly managed to do – diagrams here. It was published in my Origami Bible (the world’s worst selling origami book of all time) and promptly lapsed into hibernation. Or whatever fish do.

Until, that is, the Frenchman Cristophe Boudias requested permission to make an exhibit from it. Unlike some folders, I have no objection if people wish to fold and display my models, indeed I’m honoured. And so it was that he made a long series of fish!
