Dimensions

Middleton Public Library's public art project Dimensions was designed by internationally-known origami artist, Ruthanne Bessman and three-dimensional designer Shirwil Lukes. Over 250 community members attended the Join The Fold origami workshops and folded over 3,ooo pieces of paper to create the models, which make up the finished mural. Dimensions is 29 feet wide and 5 feet high; and is on permanent display behind the Circulation Desk.
