A method of making an extensible sculpture comprising:

• providing a plurality of flexible material sheets;
• providing a plurality of reinforcing sheets comprising high-density polyethylene;
• adhering a respective one of the plurality of reinforcing sheets to a portion of one of each of said plurality of flexible material sheets;
• cutting each of the plurality of flexible material sheets to form a plurality of at least three sculptural pieces wherein each of the sculptural pieces has a top face and a bottom face opposite the top face;
• cutting a top edge of a first sculptural piece to define a first sculptural piece profile shape;
• cutting a top edge of a second sculptural piece to define a second sculptural piece profile shape;
• cutting a top edge of a third sculptural piece to define a third sculptural piece profile shape;
• wherein the first sculptural piece profile shape is different from the second sculptural piece profile shape and the third sculptural piece profile shape;
• wherein the second sculptural piece profile shape is different from the third sculptural piece profile shape;
• arranging the first sculptural piece, the second sculptural piece, and the third sculptural piece in a predetermined order;
• defining a first set of connection columns on the top face of the first sculptural piece, each of the connection columns of the first set of connection columns being elongated and each being offset from one another;
• using a first connector to fixedly connect the bottom face of the second sculptural piece to the top face of the first sculptural piece at the first set of connection columns;
• defining a second set of connection columns on the top face of the second sculptural piece, each of the connection columns of the second set of connection columns being elongated and each being offset from one another and each being offset from each of the connection columns of the first set of connection columns;
• and
• using a second connector to fixedly connect the bottom face of the third sculptural piece to the top face of the second sculptural piece at the second set of connection columns.
