In his <a href=\"\/tags\/greg-olijnyk\">ever-evolving world<\/a> of robots, machines, insects, and buildings, cardboard proves endlessly versatile. He meticulously cuts, folds, and glues tiny pieces to resemble everything from rivets and windows to columns and balustrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Melbourne-based artist&#8217;s most recent works play with unexpected juxtapositions, like a classical cathedral dome with the base of a missile, a gothic tower fitted with jet propulsion boosters, and a lighthouse on a ship being guided through a craggy canal.
