Canadian Artist Kristi Malakoff Crafts Striking Lifesize Maypole Sculpture from Paper

Artist Kristi Malakoff is the creator of this brilliant paper installation depicting a scene of children dancing around a traditional Maypole.

Constructed entirely from black paper and foam the sculpture gives the appearance of silhouettes on a sunny day. It captures a frozen moment in which joyful children take part in a historical May day tradition, typical in Europe.

Rather ironically, the scene is usually a celebration of colour and movement. But none of that takes place here.
