CREATIVITY IS A PART OF HUMAN NATURE. IT CAN ONLY BE UNTAUGHT.
Ai Wei Wei, artist
At the Paper Crane, we are dedicated to creativity in the most human form.
It's the human search for meaning that sets us apart, as a species and as individuals. There is no one right reason for why things happen the way they do; however, it is always the pursuit of meaning, in both life's little moments and its ceaseless wonders, that urge us to create.
Our perspectives shape our art. At the Paper Crane, we're most intrigued by the perspective of youth. We believe there is a profound secret that lies in the innate nostalgia, joy, and tragedy of being young and losing youth. In addition, by placing an emphasis on the future of art and literature, we learn a great deal about both the present and the past.
Most of all, the Paper Crane is about those things that make us human. There is no one way to be a human, and there is no one way to make art.
