About Alessandra
Alessandra Lamio first got in touch with origami when she was a child, and she developed a strong interest in it during medical school, when she came across the use of Origami in therapy.
Since 2014 she as been a full-time Origami artist. Her work involves organising exhibitions, running workshops, training teachers, and also creating models for commissions.
She is an active member of the Italian Origami Society (CDO) and has been a member of the committee at four Italian conventions on origami didactics, addressed to teachers and educators with the aim of promoting and spreading the use of origami as a teaching tool. Together with Alessandro Beber, she conceived and organized the four editions of “Mountain Folding”, a summer residential convention focused on creativity and teamwork. In 2016, she organized and curated the exhibition “Mujeres de Papel”, exploring the role of women in the origami scene. It was first exhibited at the EMOZ origami museum in Zaragoza.
She has exhibited her works in origami art exhibitions in Italy, Spain, Taiwan, USA and Austria.
Her work explores various genres, with a particular focus on using volume in tessellations, geometric and figurative models.
Most of her geometric works were invented by playing with geometry and patterns. Designed instinctively, they often have internal tension that make them challenging but most of all fun.
In 2018 she was invited as special guest at the international origami conventions in France (Aix-les-Bains, May), Poland (Krakow, June) and United Kingdom (Oxford, September); in 2022 she was Maid of Honor at the CDO convention (Rimini ITA, December).
She is currently working on a book together with Dáša Ševerová, and it will be published next spring: Escape from Flatness.
