Origami in the Garden
Wednesday, June 24
Botanica Wichita

ORIGAMI IN THE GARDEN, created by Santa Fe artists Jennifer and Kevin Box is a monumental outdoor sculpture exhibition. Box takes origami to another level, transforming paper into museum quality metal sculpture through processes he has pioneered in teamwork with foundries, fabrication shops, and his studio staff. The exhibit features Box's own compositions as well as collaborations with world-renowned origami artists Tim Armijo, Te Jui Fu, Beth Johnson, Michael G. LaFosse, and Robert J. Lang. These remarkable artworks feel at home in the wondrous setting of botanical gardens, since paper originates in plant life and origami is make of paper. A personalized audio tour is available on your cell phone so hat you may call in and listen to the artists speak about the work. 

Origami, meaning "folding paper" in Japanese, reflects the essence of creativity: making something out of (basically) nothing. Start with a simple square piece of paper. Apply the art of origami, folding the paper in a creative way to produce an elegant object - a soaring bird, gliding plane, galloping pony, floating boat, or an emerging butterfly.
