My friend Tim Kowalczyk is a MFA Sculpture graduate at Illinois State University. His work is very innovative and inquisitive. You can check out his work at timkowalczyk.blogspot.com. Here is his artist statement: “Cardboard boxes are metaphors for containers of human memories. Made from clay, the cardboard boxes show the longevity and frailty of each memory. Indicative of the memory the box holds, it is shelved and stored only to be opened again. Each memory, handled differently, can be ravaged and even lost by time and feelings. The fragments of the memories left behind are protected and even hidden by the simple cardboard box. Every box is kept waiting to be remembered at a different time and in a different place.”-Tim Kowalczyk
