About Cascading Canyon 艺术装置
《层叠峡谷》是一件以美国大峡谷为灵感创作的艺术装置。作品以纸为材料，全部由手工折叠与手工拼接完成。四万余个"曾根部"（Sonobe）型模块折纸单元构成了装置的各个曲面，单元之间依靠自身的插片与插槽相互咬合。该装置为8英尺×4英尺×8英尺的空间量身设计，由三部分组成：一面背景墙、一块大型岩石以及一块可供落座的小型岩石。观众穿行于场景之中，观察形态、色彩、光与影的变化，重现置身峡谷、拾级而行的真实感受。

- Production Technology
- The artwork is primarily made of paper, completely hand-folded and hand-attached. There are more than 40,000 origami modules which were folded for this installation. These modules are attached to each other because of its inbuildt quality of flaps and pockets which all connect to each other to make it into any form or structure that one desires. This type of origami is called Modular Origami and the name of this module is "Sonobe".
- Design Challenge
- 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.
I've never visited the Grand Canyon myself, but I've always been captivated not only by how stunning it might appear surrounded by those majestic, almost divine rocks, but rather by the potential emotions it could evoke in me. - Project Duration
