Cardboard portraits by Giles Oldershaw lead us into the golden age. Using shadows to define his cuts, he carefully manipulates the layers in bound cardboard pieces to present a clear picture. The romance of the time is amplified by the ladies full lips and styled hair; likewise projecting jacket and tie office days as the gentlemen sport concentrated brows. A faint subliminal message is printed on many reminding us to “Please Recycle” as the artist has shown by example.

I find a way to fearlessly provoke your senses and take you by the heart to whatever it is I’m writing about. My sweet spot is creative writing, but for the last 20 years I have been providing freelance content for publications on sustainability and green practices, design, architecture, fashion, and non-profit charity. Recently all wrapped up in producing my first book. I have bounced from NYC to Indianapolis, but my true home is a lovely small town in Central Pennsylvania where there’s a legit drive-your-tractor-to-school-day.
