The Fort Worth Botanic Garden will present Texas premiere of "FLORIGAMIINTHEGARDEN," a six-month outdoor art exhibit featuring 18 museum-quality sculptures inspired by the Japanese art of paper folding. The event will feature pieces ranging from a few feet to more than 30 feet tall, which portray a variety of forms, including animals, flowers and various geometric shapes.
The exhibit brings art, Japanese culture, and nature together to create emotional souvenirs for the entire family. Created by Santa Fe artists Jennifer and Kevin Box, the show presents a fresh look at paper folding in the 21st century with large-scale, origami-inspired metal sculptures.
The colorful, whimsical and kinetic sculptures were created in collaboration with modern masters of paper folding: Robert J. Lang, Michael G. LaFosse and Beth Johnson. Their intricate folds have been transformed into monumental metal sculptures by Box and his studio team to inspire, educate and entertain audiences in the outdoor setting of public gardens.
One of the installation highlights and featured campaign image is "Scents of Gratitude," measuring more than 30 feet high and located in the Rose Garden. This piece was a year-long project for Box and incorporates 77 origami-inspired flower components. Most of the flowers are kinetic, gently turning with the breeze, and amidst the profusion sit a butterfly and a crane.
