Carlo Calma is excited.
“What does it look like to you?” the visual artist and London-trained architect asks each visitor. To this writer, it looks like a master origami artist’s fever dreams turned into reality. Some say it’s like a bird about to fly. Others say simply, “it’s unlike anything” they’ve seen before.
