What can you do with a roll of packing tape? If you’re us, you can recklessly waste it by overtaping the heck out of Zappos return boxes in an obsessive-compulsive meltdown, that’s what.

Jenkins creates the memorable installations, well, because he can. And because they’re super cool.
“Once I have the finished sculpture, I’ll put it out on the street or in nature or somewhere where it interacts with the environment,” he says in an awesome making-of video (below). “Really it’s the idea of turning the street into a stage , so this urban theater has a life of its own.”
Jenkins will take a break from making amazing tape art to judge yours in the Scotch off the Roll Tape Sculpting contest, which wraps up on March 24th.
