Why Captured Origami?

I call my work Captured Origami because most of my work is animal shapes and I press the pieces within custom, handmade frames created with plexi-glass, bamboo, and other unique materials. The small paper animals appear to be captured within the frame. All origami pieces are created from one piece of paper. Finished pieces vary in size from 2 x 3 inches to 4 x 5 feet.

I currently show my work out of my home studio in Brooklyn, at regional art fairs, and have had one solo show. I have also done commissioned work for interior designers, retail spaces, fashion shows, and custom pieces for individuals.
