“Cardboard is simple and straightforward. It is also a severely limited material. It has an ever-present cultural bias related to its past uses as a container or its present use as waste. I love it when the material transcends its cultural confines. If I can make something beautiful from cardboard, I have then said that anything can be made valuable, fruitful, or hopeful. I Henry Klimowicz, a sculptor based in Millerton, New York, has used cardboard exclusively in his work since 1986. He creates reliefs and three-dimensional pods, layered topographical studies, decorative wall hangings resembling outsize textiles, and organic forms summoning sea coral. There are discs which are six feet in diameter where the artist pummels, squishes, crimps and “beats up” the stiff paper.
