I love collecting origami paper. I have a big pile of it for future projects. I collect a lot of things for my collage fodder boxes. I am really no different than sewers who buy fabric they may use one day. My mom has quite the fabric pile in the attic. Now, I do appreciate the spectacle of a huge hanging mass of origami cranes, but honestly, I don’t have the patience for all the folding. It’s a funny thing to say considering the labor-intensive quality of so much of my work. But the paper is fun to cut up and use and other things. My hands can handle the exacto knife, but all that folding is just not going to happen.
The 2011 Project is a work by San Francisco artist Tofu. Each day in 2011 he created a 4”x4” mixed media piece. The finished project was made up of 365 smaller mixed media pieces. In 2013 the individual pieces will be distributed to project supporters. The project also acted as sketchbook for new ideas, which continue to be incorporated into new work For more information please visit 2011project.com

January 13, 2011 – To fold or cut?
