Step 1. I started with a piece a Styrofoam I had from my laptop Step 2. I used green construction paper and a hot glue gun. I cut flaps in the construction paper. Step 3. I curled the flaps using my pencil to create texture. I then hot glued the flaps of construction paper to the Styrofoam. Step 4. I repeated step 3 until the whole rectangle was covered giving a subtle but interesting texture to the object  It also gave off a Christmas tree feel. The way it looks and feels

"Won Choi  constitute a one-person surrealist revival -- she work at the biomorphic vocabulary of Jean Arp and Wassily Kandinsky to arrive at medium-scale sculptures that puddle, drip and run, and even march, all for the sake of joyfully nightmarish visions in pristine white.Although her work may seem quite complicated, the spirit of the work is very simple, light and pleasant. There is nothing tortured or painful. They are lyrical and invite the viewers' imagination and participation."

 Step 1. I created a module using different shades of old blue folders      1  Step 2. I then began playing around with the modules to see how they could fit together and create rhythm  Step 3. I then began cutting little slits in the triangle flaps modules and fitting them together. The bigger triangles were on one side and tickled down to the smaller ones.  Step 4. I then created a base using cardboard. I cut the cardboard in a rectangle so the form can fit on it. Step 5. Finally, I painted the base blue to tie it all together. I then hot glued the form on the base to secure it.
