L130 ORIGAMI Bugs & Beasts rologue 1 first met Manuel Sirgo in 2000, when Twas in charge of the Spanish Origami Associat Espatioia de Papiroflexia) virtual store, where he was, a frequent customer. At first, the only thing, n was that he bought that T knew about practically everything that hac ever been publised on otigami. I soon found out that besides being a compulsive “paper folder,” he was also the czeator of a large collection of models, most of them of insects. ‘'he first models T saw were surprisingly good for someone who bad beea practicing origami for le than a year. They wee quite promising, although their potential hac not been fully developed. ‘Throughout 2001, T was able to ofsery: the constant evolu- fon of his t nique. Even though all of his models started with tradi- tional bases, he achieved inczedible results with them. By May of 20 when Tmet Manuel in person at the National AEP Convention, he had already diagramed over “al 80 models. Their level oft \ | ( diiliculty ranged fiom “not CN aa s/ too diifenlt™ to “absolu‘cly impossible.” Whar can T teil you sboul Manuel? He is ngither short nor tall, neither fat nor thin, but he has something that is not easy to find ameng people inter- ested in origami: he understands paper. His folding process constantly tests the paper’s resistance, but does not tear it, Le 3s able to stretch internal /ayers in ways that seem impossible. The most surprising thing of all is Gist when you fold the paper according to his instructions, it does not turn ont to be that difficult al all. You yet pointed angles out of thin air, ane Figures so real that they seern to be alive, Another of his oulstunding featwes is chat he works really hard. and when he puls his tind to something, he always Jclivers; and yel, he still manages to find enough time to Zold impossible figures. ah.
