Paper Crane

Description

Open Edition Reproduction

This artwork is inspired by origami designed by Ramon Diaz and Daniel Naranjo, and folded by Emre Ayaroglu. I just love how this gorgeous paper crane captures so much life and movement. I folded hundreds of traditional paper cranes during my school days, but when I stumbled across this design I was truly awestruck. I love how the lighting in this piece really gives the impression that the crane is putting on a bit of a performance, spreading its delicate wings to catch the light.

The original of this drawing was created using Unipin 0.1 – 0.3 mm felt tip pen on Arches rough grain 640 gsm watercolour paper. I like to use rough grain watercolour paper for my origami works as I feel it helps my works reflect some of the roughness of the rice paper used in the original reference origami.
