A motif that has occupied me for a long time is the geometric fracture or fold and its representation. The first three pencil sketches and the folded working model show a decomposition of the surface into quadrilaterals (see image names start with 01-04). In the following a virtual 3D model was made with Blender software. It could experimentally be folded and unfolded again in virtual space. Moreover it is able to show different views from the folded surface. Several experimental variants with changed shape, lights and colour were created (see last five images. Image names start with 06-10).
