Upcycling
What is it? Upcycling is all about adding value to used products by giving them a new, higher-quality life. The idea is to recover all kinds of materials that are no longer used to create objects or products of superior quality. The main difference with recycling is that the object is used as it is. In recycling, there's a notion of destroying in order to make something new.
My favorite material for experimentation and my inexhaustible playground is cardboard and paper.
Some kids played with dolls, others built treehouses — I hoarded cardboard.
There’s something magical about transforming what most people see as “recycling day” material into wild landscapes, whimsical creatures, and tiny worlds. In Cardboard Tales, I invite you into this cardboard universe where imagination doesn’t come in plastic wrap.
Each piece in the exhibition is handcrafted entirely from cardboard, from sweeping Yukon vistas framed in—you guessed it—more cardboard, to a 30-square mosaic exploring textures & patterns. It’s a playground of possibilities, proof that creativity thrives best with simple, overlooked materials
