The most amazing cardboard structures ever. Life sized cars, bikes, chairs, violins - is there anything Chris Gilmour can’t make out of corrugated cardboard. How about a circular globe? Yep, there it is on his website. Sheesh.
The work of Chris Gilmour provokes surprise and amazement beyond what could appear to be a mere process of reproduction. In returning to the value of making and strongly emphasising it, these works reveal a process of understanding that lets us see everyday reality with new awareness and appreciation. This practice avoids a withdrawal into the limbo of craft, and implies an intimate and profound quest towards the reason of things.
