The ingenuity of this artwork is increasing (7)

I believe the answer is:

origami

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the ingenuity of this artwork is increasing' is the definition.
'origami' can be an answer for 'artwork' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the remainder of the definition.

This is the entire clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for origami that I've seen before include "Japanese art of folding or tearing paper" , "US record label" , "Paperwork, as it were" , "I'm a giro (anag)" , "Art originally created in simple materials to design bird forms" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
