Chris Gilmour is an Italian artist that creates life-size sculptures out of cardboard and glue.
He uses no supporting structure, and no wooden or metal frames. He
uses cardboard to show that extravagant artwork can be created from everyday household materials.
In an article written by Guido Bartorelli, he says that Chris Gilmour “compares his sculptures to drawing, a way of seeing objects by observing and measuring them. There is a process of deconstruction, followed by the actual construction process. It is in this process of making, in an almost instantaneous and immediate construction, as if Gilmour was using a pencil on a piece of paper, that the subtlety of diversity is embodied.”

these are all amazing, after trying to construct a simple chair I can't imagine attempting to make something as detailed as that typewriter!
But at least you don't have o sit on the typewriter.
This is so cool! I completely agree with Buck - the difficulty of this must be through the roof, although I built a mini city with wood and saws so maybe cardboard is easier to build with because it is malleable and sturdy...
