Vincent Floderer                   文森特 弗劳瑞德

(b. 1961, French) （生于1961年，法国）
Vincent Floderer has moved away from conventional origami and has developed a whole new vocabulary of techniques, most famously crumpling.

文森特 弗劳瑞德现在已经脱离了传统的折纸，并已开发出一种全新的技术———揉折。

The inspiration for his crumpling came originally from English folder Paul Jackson, but he has developed Jackson's ideas further and has

evolved methods—including dampening and stretching

that have allowed him to create organic forms such as mushrooms and toadstools and multi-layered forms such as corals and sponges.

他揉折的灵感最初来源于英国的折纸者保罗·杰克逊，但他已经发展了杰克逊的构思并进一步发展保罗的想法，包括湿折和拉伸法，这些使他可以创造类似有机物质的折纸作品，如蘑菇和毒蕈和一些多层次的折纸作品，如珊瑚和海绵。

Turning paper inside out has also resulted in organic abstract creations.

将纸张向内外翻折也导致了抽象的类似有机物的创作。
