Recycled Materials... Naturally Beautiful!

I turn corrugated boxes inside out to expose the colors and textures hidden within.

Using a utility knife, straight edge, tweezers and white craft glue, I construct the frame or foundation for each piece from recycled corrugated cartons.

The primary surface embellishments are created in a style I call Corrugated Mosaic, which relies primarily on the subtle color of the paper itself, plus the texture and shadows created by the corrugations.

To expose the corrugations to best effect, I peel away the surface layer of paper. The peeled corrugated is then cut into pieces which I use as tiles for the mosaic pattern. I also cut thin cross sections through the corrugations, which I use to separate the corrugated pieces.

In the final stage, I spray each piece with clear varnish to protect against moisture.
