Corrugated Cardboard

 

The piece will hover just off the wall surface. It is made of multiple layers of corrugated cardboard strips. The seemingly solid block protrudes from the wall at an angle, 21” deep on the left, tapering to 4” on the right.

I grew up in a house nestled at the edge of the forest. The woods were my favorite play ground. Happily building what I could with what was at hand, I learned to think big. I also learned that it was the making I enjoyed, completion was never the end game. [bar] suggests a segment of a much larger piece, displaced in time, lodged out of place. A small piece of what was never finished.
