Cris Bruch created Harbinger from a single strip of paper, which he estimates to be about 1.5 inches wide by about 500 feet long. This coiled paper sculpture arrived at its final form through a process of repeated and varied manipulations. The funnel shape of this one is reminiscent of a tornado, a catastrophic weather event widely associated with the Midwest.
