Stefana McClure transforms text and other two-dimensional works on paper into 3D sculptures by slicing them into thin strips and then rolling them into balls. A map of the world becomes a globe. A Tintin comic book re-emerges as both a ball (The Seven Crystal balls) and as a speech bubble. Dvorak’s New World Symphonies take on the form of the world. Funny, original, and easy on the eye.
