About the project

Everyone can fold paper crane; it is small and takes only a few minute of their time…but we collected more than three thousand of them! Can you imagine how beautiful and powerful decoration will be on the Children’s hospital walls with 3000 paper cranes together? We are sure it will brighten up the hospital wall.

Visit the origami art exhibition at level 1 Sydney Children's Hospital, Randwick. 22 Sept - 25 Nov 2011

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。

"....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.
