I had no set plan going in to this project, so I explored the different forms of recycled cardboard in the bin for inspiration. I found a few cardboard tubes that inspired me to create something upright/vertically standing, sort of like a tower or tree house. I did a lot of taking apart pieces and combining until I was satisfied. I made two different sculptures in class that I combined together, but in the end I wan’t feeling it so I decided to scrap it and create an entirely new one at home. I still wanted to stick to the treehouse appearance, so I got some more cardboard tubes, cut flat cardboard into organic shapes, and then attached them by inserting the shapes into slits on the tubes. In the end, the piece ended up looking like a cat tree. I drew abstract patterns and little windows across the structure with sharpie and pastel- I wish I had been more organized with these drawings, but since I worked last minute it came out a little incoherent. Oh well! Maybe sometime in the future I’ll give cardboard another go.
