Herman Mariano

Herman Mariano, a retired architect from Givatayim, Israel, is among the worlds foremost interpretive folders. He has been a paper-folder for over forty years. For each animal project he reviews the fold sequence, studies the animal in books and videos, and selects and pre-treats an optimal paper from his collection of exotic papers.
