George L. Mountainlion

This life-sized origami mask of a mountain lion was folded from a single, 18-inch square of agave and cotton fiber paper, hand made by Michael LaFosse.

Designed by Michael G. LaFosse in 1997 for the "Animals of the Sonoran Desert" exhibit at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.
This example was folded by Michael in 1998, and is in the collection of John Robertson.
