It would seem nothing special. Paper figures by Matthew Parker & Co. are the simplest kind of origami - airplanes that any child can fold. True, not everyone can cope with a thousand paper Boeings, but Matthew Parker also had volunteer assistants. A thousand traditional Japanese cranes, interpreted by a master from the United States, have turned into the darkness of American airplanes. One winged flock reincarnated into another.
The paper airplane installation was made for the Arts Fund's annual Seattle party. It is curious that the celebrating organization itself provided the author of the construction with origami material. Airplanes are made from newsletters and other office documents that have outlived their short life within the walls of the foundation.
Now it is becoming popular to use paper, glass, tin and other materials in a second round, creating unusual dresses or garbage art objects. Why not, since the end result is original pieces that look beautiful?
Particular attention should be paid to highlighting flying origami. Airplanes are impressive not only in their numbers, but also in the way purple reflections flicker on their wings. Without them, the installation would have looked much poorer.
Why airplanes? Not only because of the simplicity of their production. With this installation, the Art Foundation reminds of one of its most loyal friends - the Boeing Company. In this original way, the foundation thanks famous aircraft builders for their sponsorship.
The author of the winged installation is Matthew Parker, a resident of rainy Seattle and the founder of a design studio named after himself - Matthew Parker Events, or MPE for short. The firm is dedicated to decorating venues for local events, creating paper art and design.
The goal of the Matthew Parker Events team is to prove that you can create beautiful things even from such simple materials as paper and cardboard.

Sculptures frozen in the air
British artist Claire Morgan has become known around the world for creating stunning installations that have hung in the air, which she has been doing for the past five years.

The use of organic elements in air sculptures: fruits, grains, stuffed animals, insects, leaves and insects at the same time awakens in us a sense of beauty and horror
Frozen explosions in installations by Cornelia Parker
Destruction and creation - usually these two concepts are opposed to each other, but in the work of the Englishwoman Cornelia Parker (Cornelia Parker) they are inextricably linked.
