Richard Sweeney, David Huffman

British sculptor Richard Sweeney does some pretty amazing things with paper. In addition to his abbreviated portfolio site, be sure to view his Flickr set. On Flickr, Sweeney mentions the influence of the late computer science pioneer David Huffman, famous for the Huffman code (used in nearly every application that involves the compression and transmission of digital data) but also for applying math to origami and exploring curved folds. There is a great article on Huffman and computational origami in the archives of the New York Times (subscribers only, alas). [Sweeney link via infitit.m from Ma.gnolia]
