A successful engineer and physicist, Dr. Robert Lang is now a full time origami artist. What fascinates me most about Lang is that he is an artist that is also lucky enough to be blessed with the ability to understand complicated mathematics. With that, mathematics is a huge part of his success in origami making. He has been practicing origami for over 30 years and is recognized as a master of the art of origami, one of the world's leading origami artists. His designs are greatly detailed and because of that they are so realistic. He has designed hundreds of original pieces, of which his monumental origami is most impressive. I had no clue that origami could be created on a large scale, life-size and even larger than life size. I really love the installation he created called, "Magician Transforming Paper into a Bird." It shows the progression of the transformation of paper into a crane, installed at the Zeum Museum in San Francisco.
