Here I am at the Exploratorium building an installation called Sub-terrain. My group the Cardboard Institute of Technology was invited as Artist in Residence at the Tinkering Studio 2011.

In this photo I'm strapping my patented "box belt", which is critical when working on large scale cardboard installations.
