Henry Klimowicz' cardboard sculptures



web, originally uploaded by jahansell.

Scroll down for a bigger view - this is just one of dozens of intricate, graceful, sometimes monumental pieces out of slender strips of corrugated cardboard. At my main blog is another set.


This is still only a portion of the whole work, which is probably 10 feet wide and 8 feet tall.
