A colorful origami crane is mounted on watercolor paper with a natural deckle edge. Gold metallic cord attaches to the bird’s back, a feature which could have enabled the object to be hung and displayed. The upward streaming of the cord creates a sense of motion and flight. This detail draws attention to the various methods of viewing and exhibiting origami.
