MicroInstallations
Fish For Art
I was sitting in
the Someday Cafe folding fish, and putting them on the
window ledge in the corner. I put up a small sign 'FISH FOR ART' with a
borrowed piece of tape. Most of the fish were still there after a week,
probably because this was the time that the Mystic River Parade / Fish
For Art projects were underway. I also gave these fish out to
kids
willing to risk life and limb to come up to my Shark
Car on the parade
route for the Mystic River Parade, where it made
its first appearance.
 
Birds of a Feather
I was curious to
see what the effect of other microinstallations would
have on the Someday's clientele and people who walked by. Here
are
some other origami additions to the windows. Some of them got
swept
away by the night crew after one day, others stayed put for a few days.
The next
microinstallation was a group of flapping birds (Check out
the link here to get the Adobe PDF
diagrams for this model), with the tag
"Birds
of a Feather."
Ship Are Safe in
Harbors...
The following
microinstallation was a bunch of sailboats, with the tag,
"Ships are safe in harbors, but that's not what ships were built for."
Strawberry Fields
Forever
The next
microinstallation was a bunch of strawberries. People
tend to like strawberries. Each day, a few of them would
disappear.
This strawberry can be found in The Complete Origami Collection,
by Toshie Takahama; it was designed by Rae Cooker, and the diagrams may
also be available online. The tag above them was "Strawberry
Fields
Forever."
Winter Is Coming
I dropped by the
Someday on a cold afternoon in the fall, and put up the following:
The tag reads
"Winter is Coming." Although, as someone pointed
out, it's going to be summer in Antarctica while it is winter here.
