The unique and fascinating work with folded paper circles developed by sculptor Bradford Hansen-Smith will be featured at Orcas Center throughout March. All models in this show are folded paper circles, mostly paper plates, reconfigured and joined in multiples, much like cell growth.

In Hansen-Smith art, a simple circle is transformed over and over again into countless iterations of geometric shapes. Inspired by Buckminster Fuller, who first made spheres of paper plates, Hansen-Smith expanded his work into elaborate pyramids, helixes, stars and spirals.

Hansen-Smith is a working artist and also a teacher in the process of exploring geometry through folding paper. While on Orcas, he will be presenting several workshops, some open to everyone.

• March 1: Orcas Center, 1:30-3 p.m. and 3:30-5 p.m.

• March 6: senior center, 1:30-3 p.m.

• March 7, senior center, (including Salmonberry students) 9-11 p.m.

He will also be teaching workshops at the Orcas Island High School on March 6 and the elementary on school April 4 and 5.

All local artists can participate in the community art show in the Madrona Room.

Intake for this show will be Feb. 27, 10 a.m.-2 p.m.

Opening reception is March 1, 5:30-7 p.m.
