Corrugated Art | Trash To Treasure


Corrugated art, is how the artist refers to it. Using entirely reclaimed corrugated boxes from his trash and neighborhood, Mark Langan transformed the everyday material into something other than its original intended purpose…aesthetically beautiful three-dimensional art. Armed only with a razor blade, a cutting edge, a mat and some non toxic glue, each artwork is created by layering sheets of corrugated into aesthetically pleasing patterns. The corrugated lends itself well to patterns. When viewed from different angles and lighting, each piece changes. Cardboard has never been more beautiful, has it?

Wow.
We unpack all sorts of unusual materials at work, used to protect mirrors and frames, and I often don't want to throw these things into the recycle bin, but can never figure out just what to do with them. At least this artist does.

Wow, love the leaf/acorn art. "One man's trash is another man's treasure!"

Drove past the most amazing wind fram today in the middle of Kansas, then several hours late drove right by a beautifully lit St. Louis Arch and across the Mississippi River. After 930 miles I finally stopped in the middle of Illinois at a brand new Holiday Inn Express. So happy to see a compfy warm bed.
