The Beauty of Cardboard
Many look at cardboard and see it as a simple packaging material. To often it finds its way to the trash instead of being recycled. But as the cliche goes, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” This is the case for Mark Langan, who is an artist based out of Ohio that has made his life’s work out of corrugated boxes.
As his website states;
…I see it as an endless supply source that I purge from my trash and neighborhoods, reusing it towards my creations. Artwork that is intriguing to the viewer whereas one might ponder quite some time over. A form of green art, that makes a definitive statement with its contribution to the recycling movement.
With a touch of brilliance Mark takes “reuse” to a new level. Revamping simple cardboard into breath taking works of art. Here are a few samples of his work.

Cardboard packaging boxes such a wonderful and dynamic history. Cardboard Packaging boxes have played their small role in the evolution of modern human society. It has allowed us to conserve our resources and minimize loss of precious little we have. With the help of these boxes we have learned to manage our resources well and can now plan for long term instead of thinking about the very next day.
