1,000 Cranes and Counting

1,000 Cranes and Counting

Megan Shoemaker spent seven years folding a thousand origami cranes, not for an installation, just because she had to. Then one day it became one. In this episode, we visit her home studio in Lincoln and talk about how she went from corporate jobs and imposter syndrome to owning her identity as an artist, what a three-story crane installation at the Burkholder taught her about vulnerability, and why she thinks making bad art is some of the best advice she can give.
