I got a text from Jim this evening inviting me to an impromptu art show and artist discussion for his class. I wasn’t busy so I headed back to campus and over to the art school.
I got there just in time for the professor to call on Jim to talk about his art – he pointed me out as his collaborator on the origami for the books and we got some cool photos. It was pretty neat to see the other students’ work as well and to hear about their creative process.
I like to push the boundaries on paper folding with materials, size, and scope – and it was really excellent to see some humble paper fish and butterflies to be part of something bigger.
And the parent of one of the students wants to buy one of Jim’s books! He said he’d think about and has plans for another project. Looks I need to limber up my hands – we’ve got some more folding to do.
Here are the photos of the projects – I’ll try to get some shots of the gallery at some point too.
