without a tv and copious amounts of money i decided to make a project that requires little money spent on art supplies and one utilizes items that i can find in my apartment. i woke up yesterday morning and thought of this for some reason. perhaps, it is related to a dream i had before i woke up.
i am folding origami using brown grocery bags from trader joe's and whole foods that we have in the cabinets under our sink. i like the texture of paper and how the cranes come out---it is a bit different if you were using paper made specifically for origami, a little more sturdy. it is a process piece. so, eventually they will be spray painted different colors (when it is nice enough to utilize the roof). however, i have not decided on the color scheme. once the paper is folded and painted, i will then begin to conceptualize what i want the final paper sculpture to look like, which will be composed of all these paper cranes.
i'll keep you posted as the project progresses, but for now it will probably just be a shitload of paper folding.
