Ok, so here I am, little ol' me packing away like mad as I prepare our big move from Paris to Sydney, and I'm thinking 'what's an honest move if cardboard boxes aren't heavily in the mix'?!?! Well at my place, they're everywhere!! Everywhere I turn, big or small, behind every door, flat or packed... They have entered my life at a speed faster than on can type 'box' in a blog post. Moreover, I'm convinced that they unpack themselves and multiply during the night, a little like those pesky metal coat-hangers.
So, with the simple goal of keeping myself calm and sane, and restraining myself from talking to the boxes for more than one hour per day, I've began to consider what beauty they may hide within if I just very simply looked at them differently. And just that very thought has got my aesthetic buds excited and inspired. I invite you to take a look at the below cardboard art. There are some very fun and quirky pieces, easy to digest, but I urge you to look closely at the first three. My absolute favourite is the first image showing a cardboard bow instillation. I love the texture, volume and relief in this work of art, and I lose myself in the simplicity with which the box unravels itself up and across the wall. Similarly, the second and third image below are very impressive. These two are by German street artist Evol. You can find much more of his crazy and inspiring work here.
