Origami honors the Chinese New Year of
the Goat (or is it the Sheep?)
Even for those not reared with Chinese New Year
celebrations, the holiday offers another welcome
chance to start over. In honor of the Year of
the Goat (or the Sheep, say some sources), we
asked origami artist Kyle Fu to create a paper
figure of the symbol for the 4700th Chinese year.
Fu custom-makes origami figures ($5 each) as well
as mobiles ($25-$65). Contact him at Notoriousart@yahoo.com.
On February 15, Fu will demonstrate origami
for Lantern Festival at Forbidden Gardens, the
Katy attraction of Chinese simulacra.
Throughout the month, Fu and other artists involved
with his Notorious Artist Guild will present an
exhibition, The Art Will Go On, at Mo Mong.
On February 23, they will host a noon-5 p.m. reception.
At Mo Mong, Fu will also display a life-size origami
goat to welcome what Chinese astrology promises
will be an artistic but unpredictable year.
