Cappings
Turning Trash Into Visual Interest
Above is a partial view of the piece, "Plastic Cappings". It is composed of the top portions of plastic containers with their cap. They are riveted and E-6000ed together. The caps are removable. The visual color appearance of the piece can be changed by moving common sized caps around. It wasn't until sixteen years (finished it on June 18th, 2005) after the completion of the piece that I decided to gather as many black caps in close proximity to each other. "Plastic Cappings", is a four-in-one piece; meaning it can be hung four different ways. "Plastic Cappings", is 48" x 58".
Below are two images of a composition of collected bar codes. "Bar Codes", is one piece. It has a front and a back. This is an eight-in-one piece; meaning it can be hung eight ways; four on one side and four on the flip side. "Bar Codes" was completed on October 2cd, 2004. It sizes out at 38 3/4" x 41 3/4".
