corrugated.


I am absolutely fancying Nina Lindgren's pile of houses.
A unique sculpture built from a familiar material, corrugated cardboard!
The whimsical piece is titled Cardboard Heaven.

Notice the slight variations in color of each house.
Did you ever think a cardboard box could be so many different shades of brown?                              

Nina's construction and process photos are fun to see. 
I like when artists share their work space and expose the developing stages.

Cardboard Heaven reminds me of a mix between
the houses set into the cliffs of Cinque Terra, Italy and...

the cargo bikes of China! Stacked neatly and piled high!

Her smaller bunches of houses are quaint yet graphic also.

And her ship illustration! Aaaaahhhh!
I love it!
