Fri 8/7 @ 6PM
The Morgan Art of Papermaking Conservatory’s gallery shows its students and the community a wide range of what can be done artistically with paper.
On Fri 8/7, it opens a new show. Murmuration features the work of bookbinder/papermaker/ letterpress printer Kerri Harding of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, who creates site-specific installations on particular themes. At the Morgan, she will install more than 1,000 paper airplanes representing starlings, “birds known for strange and beautiful flocking patterns. They respond to stimuli and move as a single organism.”
“The making of Murmuration was long and process-oriented, and provided a time and place for personal reflection of the ever-changing nature of heartache and recovery,” she says. “The scale of the piece, exceeding 1000 airplanes, is a reference to the Japanese legend of the making of paper cranes. It is said that anyone who makes 1,000 paper cranes will be granted a wish or given relief from illness.”
The show runs through 9/17. The reception and show are free.
