Paper Boat Installations

Continuing my installation effort, I assembled a fleet of paper boats and deployed them on a dry deck.   I used this grouping of the paper boat to explore the relationship of individuals and collective identity, and order and chaos:

Making Art With Mother in China

When I visited my parents in China last May, I invited my mother to make some origami boats and dresses with me, so I could show my family the concept of my ongoing installations.

I made several very crude demos of installations.  Though these photos below don't reflect fully my ideas, I still cherish them, perhaps more for sentimental values.  According to my mother, these paper boats and white dresses still occupy their living-room in Shenyang.

Paper Boats, Chairs Installations and More

Recently, while making origami 3D models for a painting study, I had an epiphany on art making.  Not only the desired painting, but the 3D origami models were art in their own rights.

I was making origami chairs, boats, and white dresses and I had very clearly defined way of arranging these tiny actors, on stages large or small.  Making these elements was a time-consuming effort but with the small fleet I have assembled so far, I could tell some fascinating stories already:















Stay tuned for more arrangements.
