Digital Prints on Recycled Beverage Cans

  The first of these pieces is one I have been working on and it seems slowly indeed to get it to this point.  At this point there are over 200 cans in it and the size is 120" in height and 24" in width.  This is the first panel and I am working on at least 3 more. I thank all my friends for their can donations:)  The start of this piece is posted on July 10th this year.  The prints for this piece are and will continue to be patterns from Yosemite National Park's Mariposa Grove and the Waipoua Forest in Northern New Zealand.

                                                                      

Detail of piece

Now we have another piece I am working on.  This piece is also beverage cans that have been printed.

I am not sure this piece will continue on the way it is or change.  Not sure it is working for me and I have made several changes since I started it.  This would be another large piece.  My goal with these 2 pieces is to do an installation where the viewer could walk around these pieces that have prints based on the surfaces in a forest.  My vision is to build a walking forest from recycled printed cans.
