Abstract pen plotted red and blue ink line pattern

Folded paper with abstract red and blue line pattern. Paper is folded with 3 vertical pleats.

Detail of abstract pen plotted piece with 3 vertical pleats

Abstract pen plotted pieces with yellow, red, blue, and black inks. Pattern is randomized through the heavy texture of folds in the paper.

I've done smaller pieces with folds in the process but these are my first larger pieces. The simplest move is to fold, flatten the paper back out, and allow the texture to impact the plot.
