About the Pieces

Each piece is a combination of between one and four units, where each unit is hand-folded from one circle or square of paper with a circular hole and hand-scored concentric circular creases. The pieces are combined by joining a few key points together; the rest of the shape is formed from the natural equilibrium of the paper.

Material: Elephant hide paper.
Dimensions: 8" × 8" × 8" tall • 8" × 8" × 10" tall • 10" × 10" × 10" tall.
