Origami Crane with Ferns and Plants

Ira Blount · late 20th-early 21st Century

In this busy print, green, purple, white, yellow, and blue plants are outlined by metallic gold. Though the print is identical to another origami crane folded by artist Ira Blount (2011.0004.0084), comparing the two paper sculptures draws the viewer’s attention to the way creases and folds highlight different elements of the print including shapes, colors, and patterns.
