Installing the “Cardboard Gandhi” at the Knowledge Center, UNR, 2010

Low Polygon Sculptures

In 2008 I created my first low polygon sculpture in cardboard in the form of a 17’ tall reproduction of my Gandhi avatar from Second Life. Since that time I have created a number of works in cardboard, corrugated plastic and using 3D printing technologies. Often the larger works have been built on site with students and community volunteers. The ability to transform basic 3D models, often developed from extracted data from video games, allows for the creation of complex objects that speak to the temporality of the digital while also reflecting or examining real world issues and content.
