Ceiling Installation Of Koi Fishes Diving In And Out Of The Ceiling

To continue my project of creating papercraft animals that come half out of the wall, I’ve created a series of Koi fishes. Since most of the my walls are already full of papercraft animal trophies, the ceiling was the logical next step to fill.

I created two variations of my Kois. First version are textured and color-printed full-body Kois you can hang like a mobile installation. They “swim” peacefully in the air.

Second version are Kois made of colored paper that you can arrange around a lamp or just as a random fish swarm at the ceiling. I use 160g/m² paper and bookbinder glue to assemble my papercraft models. It takes around 3-4 hours to put together one fish.
