See it then unfold it! I love it!

IN regards to Coxeter and Penrose, do you see any value in relating “the sheet” in 2D to tessellations on a sphere, as the origami product of the crane?

To quote the article by Jennifer Kahn: "Origami aficionados agree that Kamiya's most extraordinary sculpture is a dragon he created in 2004, at age 20. Coiled and rearing, the dragon has the lithe energy of a living snake, with overlapping scales, thornlike teeth, and tiny, grasping, clawed hands. Asked how he manages to create something so complicated without the help of a computer, Kamiya pauses to consider. "I see it finished," he says finally. "And then"—he stares off, as though visualizing the imaginary object—"I unfold it. In my mind. One piece at a time." and "Kamiya, too, continues to experiment, but he has no interest in learning to use TreeMaker. In halting English he says: "Right now, human way is better."
