What is Corrugated-Cardboard Sculpture?
Laminated cardboard alternates flat faces with exposed hollow flutes, its joins openly describing the construction. Warm-brown fibers and thick cut edges give simplified volumes an unpretentious model quality.
Corrugated cardboard reveals flat liners and a wavy core at its cut edges.
A model roof made from an intact panel beside exposed wall corrugations can make its construction understandable.

Reusable style prompt for Corrugated-Cardboard Sculpture
Construct the existing forms as unpainted corrugated kraft-cardboard sculpture. Cut, stack and laminate cardboard into deep relief. Clearly expose hollow wavy flutes at cut edges, varying joint thickness and preserving coarse paper fibers and compression marks on every plane. Use warm brown and pale cream cardboard to distinguish values. Side light casts real overlapping shadows, while smaller cuts and orderly layering establish fine detail.Use the same style prompt for portraits, landscapes and objects.
