About Cascading Canyon Kunsinstallasie
Cascading Canyon is 'n kunsinstallasie geïnspireer deur die Grand Canyon. Die werk is van papier gemaak en is volledig met die hand gevou en met die hand aanmekaar geheg. Meer as 40,000 modulêre origami-eenhede van die Sonobe-tipe vorm die oppervlaktes, verbind deur ingeboude flappe en sakkies. Die installasie is ontwerp vir 'n ruimte van 8 by 4 by 8 voet en het drie dele: 'n agtergrond, 'n groot rots en 'n kleiner rots wat as 'n sitplek gebruik kan word. Besoekers stap deur die omgewing en neem vorm, kleur, lig en skadu waar, wat die gevoel herskep om deur die canyon te beweeg.

This type of origami is called Modular Origami and the name of this module is "Sonobe".

- The hardest part of this art installation was to transport it from one place to another. But with a little bit of brainstorming, we were able to figure out the logistics for packing and sending it to Delhi from Jaipur.
- Research
- For thr research of this installation, I took help from varios picures of the Canyon on the internet to get inspired by the forms, colours and light and shadow. I also read about the Canyon, about its history and how it was created.
- Inspiration
- The Grand Canyon inspires this art installation where in the idea was to recreate the feeling of walking through the canyon by bringing in the elements like the form, the colour as well as the light and shadow.
