Small world: I had the pleasure of meeting Kelli Anderson this weekend, author of This Book is a Planetarium (worth a peek)! She recently designed this animation for Brainpickings (a terrific blog by Marina Popova) to animate a poem by Jane Hirschfeld. Marina writes: “I had a sudden vision of bringing the poem to life in an animated stop-motion short film playing with this idea of the improbable and inhospitable environments in which life, against all odds, persists — the raw optimism of nature.

One after another, performers stepped into pans of ink and moved along the 30 foot long sheet of paper which stretched out on the floor. I love this execution of John Cage’s “STEPS: A Composition For A Painting”.

Here’s a wonderful who/what/when/where/why all about Japanese paper!

I was amazed to read that there is a Malaysia Origami Academy! And wow, they created the Jalur Gemilang with more than 6,000 paper cranes, in conjunction with Malaysia Day.
