Origami 2

There were so many beautiful works on display in Cooper Union's recent origami show 

that I decided to post another set of photos. 

The exhibit -- "Surface to Sculpture" included 134 works

 from 88 artists

from 5 continents. 

Impressive. 

The exhibit marks the 55th year since origami was introduced to America with, you guessed it, an exhibition at Cooper Union. 

So here's some more adorable creatures,

swirling sculptures and

geometric hats to enjoy!

Origami

I have read some articles lately about all the really amazing things that artists have been doing with origami.  

Most of the press has been focused on very fluid and intricate folding based on mathematics. 

So when I read about the origami art exhibit at Cooper Union I decided to go check it out. 

I was not disappointed. 

Not only did the show include some amazing swirly sculptures,

it also had some very avant-garde clothing!  

But I was especially delighted to see that the exhibit still included lots of critters

which I tend to think of as traditional origami. 

But of course it was done with an artistic twist, so instead of just having animals they had animals interacting with each other.  

Sadly the exhibit closed on July 3 so you won't be able to go see it, but I will post some more pics soon.

Cheers!
