Immigration Museum Origami Project

Immigration Museum Origami Project

Joy is in creasing

I facilitated the Origami project, “Origami Paper Trail” for the Immigration Museum Melbourne.

It was a wonderful opportunity for me to promote the immigration, origami and exhibition.

We immigrate from the sea and sky, so we make boats and butterflies. Once we are in Australia, we welcome the new people, so we make hearts!

I hope we will have a lot of hearts in the installation.

Thank you, Keina from SBS Japanese Radio for the nice interview!

7m Origami Monyument in Campbelltown

It is a fantastic opportunity to be a part of the Campbelltown Art Project.

I designed an origami monument for Koshigaya Park in Campbelltown this year.

Koshigaya City in Japan and Campbelltown in Sydney are sister cities and the cities are celebrating their 40th anniversary.

My monument will be about 7 meters high. wow!

Here is the miniature model I created for the presentation.
