Every day millions of us sit in front of a computer screen tapping away at a keyboard, mostly writing virtual notes to unseen correspondents. By contrast, an origami project is a chance to be creative and make something tangible; in fact, turning a piece of paper into a three-dimensional sculpture is a meditative journey that instills in us a sense of pride, competence, and accomplishment. As we fold the paper, the focus required and the tactile connection help free our minds to roam, creating the opportunity for a moment of self-reflection, for true presence of mind.

This exhibition catalog documents FOLD UNFOLD, a project by Susan Falls and Jessica Smith. Coverlet weaving requires tremendous aptitude, but coverlets are not well known when it comes to southern material culture. In our research, we found 19th and early 20th century samples folded up in closets, doubled over beneath beds, or stuffed unseen in chests rather than exhibited as artworks integral to the production of economic, political, and cultural values in southern households. To reframe these objects, we folded historic coverlets into a pillar to connote the foundational role of cotton in the emerging global economy and the role southern women played in the aesthetic narrative of their landscape. We also invited contemporary makers to weave overshot coverlets in a black and white color scheme. This palette was chosen not only to underline (and undermine) some of the ways we found color being used to signify class and race in our research, but also to draw viewers' attention to the formal qualities of weaving work. Viewers can only glimpse the pattern, palette, and worksmanship of these coverlets when they are folded. To reveal these works, the pillars were taken down and the coverlets unfolded in a public performance. The objects were restacked at full size to form a minimalist contemporary sculpture meant to call attention to art/craft, formal/domestic, and nonfunctional/functional dichotomies.

Unfolding Practice: Reflections on Learning and Teaching is a conversation between two artist-educators. Flowing across five chapters, the double sided accordion book has been curated from ten years of recorded conversations, field notes, planning, sketches, reflection, and teaching. The front of the book weaves text, illustration, cutouts, and screen prints, journeying through artistic process and educational practice. The back of the book is a guide, expanding on the practice of using accordion books as a tool for capturing, visualizing, and building upon reflective thinking. The brown paper alludes to the craft paper that is ubiquitous in schools and captures process more than the preciousness of a final product.
