This show includes 18 original pieces of art on 2" square paper tiles, 33 hand drawn 10-pointed origami stars, and 7 black/gray & white origami stars made from original patterns on printed paper.

I’ve folded hundreds of origami stars and flowers on paper ranging from 2” square to 11” square, which is the largest paper I could print on my own.

Galaxy is my first art installation piece. The unique space allowed me to curve the piece into 3-D form by hanging stars and flowers from the wooden slats that make up the dropped ceiling. Additionally, each side of this wall contains clear glass panes ideal for showcasing two-sided origami stars and flowers. There are 134 origami stars and flowers throughout the space featuring over fifteen uniqu
