You can read about the history of how the exhibit came to be by visiting this page.

Tim is an Associate Professor at Creighton University in Omaha, NE. You can view more of Tim's older work at his web site, TimGuthrie.com.

Ken is a freelance graphic artist in Omaha and his work can be viewed in detail at his web site, KGByproducts.com.

In addition to the work by Tim and Ken, there was gracious assistance from the people below. We can't thank them enough for all of the help during the creation and installation of the first show.

Many volunteers helped fold thousands of origami cranes for the exhibition (ultimately, there were over 5,000 cranes in the show). It is difficult to express our full gratitude to all of the people in Hiroshima that helped fold origami cranes for the exhibition.

The installation views are from the first exhibit at the Bemis Underground (Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts) but the plan is for the exhibit to travel to other States in the near future.

We would like to thank the following:
