Origami is the Japanese art of paper folding. Artists take ordinary paper and fold in in such a way that it comes alive as an extraordinary three-dimensional animal, flower, useable box, or any one of a myriad of objects. This Texas roadside attraction is just that: only it’s made of different materials and at quite a larger scale than most.
