The Art of Cardboard: Big Ideas for Creativity, Collaboration, Storytelling

The Art of Cardboard by Lori Zimmer explores the incredible world of contemporary artists and designers who transform one of the world’s most overlooked materials, cardboard — into extraordinary works of art, sculpture, architecture, and storytelling. Highlighting the work of over 20 international artists, this richly illustrated book showcases everything from large-scale installations to delicate miniature models, all created from recycled and repurposed cardboard.

Zimmer discusses both the conceptual and technical aspects of working with cardboard, providing readers with inspiration for sustainable creativity, collaborative projects, educational programs, and professional design practices. Featuring full-color photographs throughout, the book also includes artist interviews and insights into their creative processes.

A perfect addition for artists, teachers, sustainability advocates, makers, and anyone interested in material experimentation and the evolving definitions of fine art.
