I do not know how to get the pictues to post, but it is really cool. Mid-States Packaging in Lewiston, Ohio commissioned the artist, Mark Langan. Reminded me of the window of that one space in the SN with the plastic bottle lids made into a design. Very cool.

i always thought the texture of corrugated cardboard was fascinating. It's remarkable material, really.

Those exapmle were brilliant yet tedious as all hell. Very much reminds me of local artist Mike Litzau of the ever clever Couchfire Collective and his extra tedious printmaking and die cut works. here is some of his work:

Corrugated cardboard is wonderful stuff. I think they utterly ruined the potential of the material in the form they chose to use it. Somehow it looks like very very old wood. That's the freak out. If they wanted that look why didn't they just use old wood siding, paint it, and then sandblast the paint to make it look weatherbeaten. *blah*

I was more referring ("remarkable material") to its usefulness in structural sheets and boxes and the texture of the stuff in general. Wasn't actually commenting on those sculptures. :)
