Mini Paper Cranes

77 Paper Cranes

After seeing the gigantic paper crane installation by Vik Muniz (Thanks Jon!), I was reminded of the 1000 paper cranes I made as a teenager. I made these cranes for my ailing grandmother. I went through so much paper that I started to make them smaller and smaller. Then I became obsessed with making the cranes as small as possible. I keep a small bundle of the cranes in a prescription medicine bottle which had once belonged to my grandmother.
