Fragile, fantastical designs in cardboard – in pictures

Daniel Agdag began working with cardboard after seeing his architect neighbour use it to mock up designs. The Melbourne-based artist and film-maker was struck by its ability to resemble timber or steel. “Cardboard gave me means to realise ideas I had only imagined previously,” he says. His latest series is Tide Houses, a collection of spare structures on stilts. “The narratives that feed my work tend to stem from my subconscious. The pieces are like mathematical problems, which I work through as I create them, decoding the world around me.”
