ORIGAMI IN THE GARDEN
Created by Santa Fe artists Jennifer and Kevin Box, 20 larger-than-life sculptures inspired by the ancient Japanese art of origami emerge skyward throughout Mounts—each one a stunning merger of art and nature enhancing and celebrating the verdant environment. From traditional soaring cranes and gliding planes, to galloping ponies, emerging butterflies, and even a boat, Kevin Box takes origami to another level, transforming traditional Japanese topics into museum-quality metal sculptures.
