Nicole Newman created several art pieces that incorporated origami, photography prints, and sculptural installations. One piece called "Autoprintography" used large origami pieces made from acid-washed photograph prints arranged on a wall. Another sculpture was inspired by Eric Carle's art and used painted tissue paper placed on chicken wire to resemble his collage style. A third project was an interactive urban game in New York City called "Massively Multiplayer Mushu" that had teams find ethnic ingredients in different neighborhoods and languages to make a collective dinner.
