Breaking: Several killed in Navy yard shooting

Tiny, vibrant paper cranes seem to float in midair as they hang from thin pieces of string in the restored Creston Depot’s art gallery. May Ling Chuong, 14, is September’s Creston: Arts featured artist with her origami art. “It’s crazy. I was scared,” said Chuong. “I’m, like, 14. And, I didn’t actually think about doing something big with it. I just thought it was a hobby. So, when it became something big, it was really nice.” Origami is the Japanese art of folding paper. The goal is to turn a flat piece of paper into a sculpture without the use of glue or cuts in the paper. Chuong, a second-generation Chinese-American, is the daughter of Jen and Simon Chuong, owners of Chuong Garden in Creston. She has two younger sisters and one younger brother.
Getting started
Chuong, an eighth-grader at Creston Middle School, got her start in origami
when her cousin taught her to fold. “I have a cousin, and he works at my parents’ restaurant,” said Chuong. “And, he started making things. I didn’t know what it was, you know, and I thought it was really cool. I got really interested in it.” The exposition of origami art, which includes paper cranes, flowers, a 3-D cat and hanging art, will be on display until Sept. 30. “I didn’t know a lot of people were actually interested in it,” said Chuong. “Being in middle school, it’s kind of hard with all the different people, so I guess, like, it’s nice to show people what you do. This will make people know who I am a little bit more.”
Chuong’s favorite things to fold are flowers. She has kusudama flowers on display, which have little folds of paper inside the petals. She also did 3-D origami. O n e piece, a cat, is on display at the gallery. A 3-D piece is made by stacking folded paper into shapes and making it stay together. “I just think, if I look in a book and I find how to make a diamond, I’ll use Please see ORIGAMI, Page 2
