House of Cards, Influence for my last project

This particular artist does not have a connection to sustainability per say; it does however remind me of part of the inspiration for my project.  

I made a a "house of cards" by useing old cardboard boxes, (i.e. beer, and ice-cream ) 52+ playing card size pieces of cardboard  to make a house of card.

In created the recycled piece I was commenting on the instability of packing materials that are used once and then discarded. Although cardboard is recycle material it is more often than not thrown away. 

Like a house of card this practice is not sustainable. Soon it will crash and burn. The items chose for the project also related to this thought on cultural waste and abundance. Cheap beer and ice-cream. These are two items of food that we do not need but that we consume and throw away without really knowing or most of the time caring where it comes from. 

Do get me wrong I love ice-cream, beer is ok, I appreciate its complex quality.
