Recycled Beverage Can Installation
Since returning from my trip to Alaska, my new project is taking shape. It was started sometime in February by figuring out what surfaces were going to be put together and how. Then the print to work from. Chosen surfaces decided on are: digital prints on beverage cans, digital prints on my hand made amate bark paper, twigs and hemp.
The strands of the elements measure 10 ft long and around 1 ½ “ wide. They are fragile, light and will hang in a circular configuration. Of course that will be subject to change as more and more pieces are created. Currently, over 400 cans have been printed.
There are around 400 of the small elements almost together, as you can see by the pictures below. Many piles of cans are ready to cut and assemble. This is a seriously tedious process. Let’s hope it has the end result I am searching for.
this is really fabulous, and I'd love to see it in person. great project!
