I recently kicked off a new project in which I make and share a different paper sculpture every day for the month of October. Each one features a pile, mound, or heap of some sort. Here’s a brief video describing the backstory.

The last time I did a project like this was 2019, for the “36 Days of Type” global design challenge, in which I made a different letter of the alphabet (and then the digits zero through nine) every day for 36 days. You can see my alphabet here. That experience was both exhilarating and stressful, and I grew so much from it.

This time, it’s a challenge of my own making. It feels more personal, as I’m putting more of my own feelings and story into it. It’s a bit nerve-wracking committing to such a fast-paced schedule, but I think the structure and public accountability will be good for me.
