Cardboard Art

Chris Gilmour's Eco Creations

Cardboard and glue, that's all it takes. English artist Chris Gilmour created a fascinating bunch of objects from daily life using this unusual but common material.

For his amazing sculptures he just uses glue. He doesn't use wires or wood or metal frames; literally JUST CARDBOARD! From a typewriter to a dentist chair, Chris has really pushed the creativity envelope and sent a very important message with his art.

Maybe he can find a solution for those ghastly plastic grocery bags.
