At last, our exhibition, "Fold with Love" was over.

We took down the panels from the hospital wall and packed away on Sunday 4th December.

Thank you very very veeeeery much for everyone who helped and supported our project during the process.

We want to re-design the origami panel hanging system and are looking for an exhibition space for them.

A restaurant in Neutral Bay may be the next venue.

The next origami workshop will be at The Art Shop Mona Vale during the summer holiday.

The last day of the exhibition - Dec 4th 2011

The exhibition will be originally ended on Friday 25th November.
However the display will be on till Sunday 4th December. So if you haven't had any chance to get there yet, please pop in soon.
Some works were already sold but there are still some beautiful panels which are waiting for you to take home. The profit will go to the Hospital.

There was an article on SMH about the partnership between Louis Vuitton and Sydney Children's Hospital Foundation. They took photo in front of the origami panels at "Fold with Love" exhibition.

That 5 panels were designed by me and I used 350 Louis Vuitton paper cranes.

The title is "LV-Origami symphony"

The exhibition, "Fold with Love" is a very unique origami exhibition at Sydney Children's Hospital. It is currently opened to public till 25 November and the works are for sale.

Photographer, Mayu Kataoka took countless number of photos for this project.

I always amazed and delighted to see Mayu's fantastic photography skill.

We should make a book about this project with her beautiful photos one day.

Both framed photographs are for sale at the exhibition. $300 each.

片岡まゆさんはフォトグラファーでこのプロジェクトの写真を担当されました。

私はいつも現場に立ち会ってその後まゆさんの撮った写真をみせていただきました。まゆさんの目のつけどころ、角度の取り方など腕前のすごさに圧倒されてばかりでした。

近いうちにこのプロジェクトのまとめとして、まゆさんの写真をたくさん入れた本を作りたいと思っています。

たくさんの写真の中から、２作品だけ選んでいただき、額にいれて一つ超お買い得の３００ドルとなっています。

You will be surprised if you find out how he folded and created this artwork.

"....Mayu and I started working on the project in January this year. Since then I carried origami paper in my bag everywhere and asked people to fold paper cranes in many occasions. We ran more than 20 workshops in many different places.

We have met countless wonderful origami lovers. It was always a pleasure to see the big smiles on people’s faces who made paper cranes for their first time.

We believe that everyone can fold a paper crane – it is small and takes only a few minutes of their time, but 3000 of them together on the wall become a beautiful and a very powerful decoration.

Mayu and I would like to thank our families, friends, people from Louis Vuitton, Sydney Children’s Hospital, the Hospital School, the Hospital Foudation, and everyone who contributed their time and folded paper cranes for the project.

Big and special thanks to Roxanne and Martha for their endless support. We couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you." - Midori Furze, the opening night speech.

Today Mayu and Midori have found that one of the mobiles was made with paper cranes from Forestville Montessori School.

Dear Forestville Montessori School

Thank you very much for sending your love in the shapes of paper cranes. They are beautiful. We specially love a tiny paper crane. Please forgive us for our late response.

Hope you can visit the Sydney Children's Hospital level 1 to see all the paper cranes on the wall.

Window Display in Manly

You can see our Origami display at Rouge Window in Manly.

The shop has just been emptied last week and we were asked to use the space to decorate with origami.

I used an old book, it said "Christmas 1940" and my father in law's name. I placed it inside the old birdcage. I folded some paper cranes out of some pages.

Big thanks to Angela and Meegan from Manly Centre Management to organise to let us use the space.
