Hello fellow origami enthusiasts, I am curating an exhibition of origami artwork titled Surface to Structure: Folded Forms (you might already be aware of this). To cover exhibition expenses, I am raising money through Indiegogo. There are only 2 days left until the end of the *Surface to Structure* Indiegogo campaign! So far, we’ve raised nearly $20,000 but we still have a ways to go to reach our funding goal of $32,000. As a LAST PUSH effort to raise the remaining funds, I am offering a bonus gift to *all contributors, regardless of donation amount*.
IF WE REACH OUR GOAL OF $32,000 BY THE END OF THE CAMPAIGN, I WILL MAIL EVERY SINGLE CONTRIBUTOR A FEW SHEETS OF LASER-CUT, LASER-SCORED PAPER AND POST A YOUTUBE INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO TO MAKE A CURVED FOLDING SCULPTURE. If we reach our goal and I do this mailing of the laser-scored paper, what you receive will be a surprise: I'll put together a random assortment of my favorite colors of stardream (one of my favorite papers), and I might throw in some wacky shapes to fold too, instead of just curved patterns. You can see images of of forms similar to what you might be able to create, using the paper that I will laser-cut, on our Indiegogo updates page: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/surface-to-structure-folded-forms/x/5697755#activity We are also offering a lot of cool origami swag, like t-shirts, crease pattern mugs, and calendars as thanks for your donations. We've also prepared the exhibition catalog, which will contain over 160 pages and include 10 x10 inch full-color images of each work of art from the show. You can check out our other perks and read more information about the exhibition and what the funds will be used for on our Indiegogo page here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/surface-to-structure-folded-forms/x/5697755#home We are in the process of updating our website www.SurfacetoStructure.com<http://www.surfacetostructure.com/> which now includes a complete list of participating artists and a news page with links to articles and artistic blogs that have featured this exhibition. We'll soon add a page to include events such as our opening reception, and details about the gallery hours and a location map. Please consider funding this amazing exhibition, and please spread the word along to anyone you know who may be interested. Thanks to those of you who have already supported *Surface to Structure: Folded Forms*, and regardless of whether you choose to donate, we hope to see you this summer at The Cooper Union! Thank you, Uyen Nguyen and The *Surface to Structure* Exhibition Team
