Jan 17th, 2020 : Pressed Cans

This artist takes shiny new Aluminum 24oz cans and bends them to his will using his fingers. No kidding, no tools, just his hands. It’s almost like he’s using the force... that’s some creative fondling.



Quote:
Sculptor Noah Deledda transforms everyday aluminum cans into works of art using nothing but his fingertips. Deledda carefully presses and creases intricate geometric patterns into the surface of plain cylindrical cans using carefully placed pressure from his fingers and the edge of his nails.


Quote:
The artist explains in a statement on his site, “Through sculpture I try to create something unique out of an ordinary object. In this case, a common disposable object. The technique itself also embodies this theme of elevation by implementing the incidental gestures of disposal, the ‘scratch, dent and crease.’ Through artistic principles these actions are re-imagined.”
Translation: I can do this really cool thing and you can’t, neener, neener, neener.

There's video at the links.
