It would be a shame to throw away cardboard – here are some creative uses

Thanks to its versatile use, corrugated cardboard has stirred the imagination of artists more than once. It’s no accident, since the well-formable, easy-to-handle, yet strong material opens countless paths for your soaring imagination. A Japanese artist, Monami Ohno, for example, creates lifelike copies of fantastic creatures from cardboard: his workshop is lined with corrugated cardboard copies of giants, robots and sometimes everyday objects. Another corrugated cardboard sculptor, James Lake, creates giant human sculptures from recycled paper. The now successful artist said in an interview: he originally started working with corrugated cardboard because he didn’t really have access to raw materials, but the boxes from the local supermarket turned out to be a good – and not least free – material.
