Red and Orange Origami Crane

Ira Blount · late 20th-early 21st Century

Artist Ira Blount created multiple origami cranes nearly identical in shape and form, achieving variety by selecting sheets of paper with a diversity of colors and designs. Here, metallic gold embellishments overlay red and orange paper featuring flowers and plants in purple, red, white, and green. Viewers are encouraged to reflect on how identical forms can highlight differences between the cranes.
