Inspired by his travels, Josh Gluckstein seeks to recreate the presence and personality of some of the most majestic animals he has seen in the wild.
The accessibility and versatility of recycled cardboard, with its many tones and textures, allows Josh to capture unique details and raw emotion, all whilst creating almost zero waste. Cardboard has now become the fundamental material in Josh’s practice, and depending on the piece, Josh integrates recycled fabric, tissue paper, and faux fur to help bring his animals to life.
As an animal lover, it's not only important to Josh to illustrate the beauty of the animals that inspire him, but he is also determined to help protect them in any way that he can.
