REDEFINING WHAT THE PURPOSE OF AN OVERLOOKED OBJECT CAN BE. my work focuses on the objectification of a scratched, dented aluminum can. It uses these flaws, accidents and failures to depict art. A sculptural method that interprets the damages that are inflicted upon disposal of this ordinary item.
It's cool. The guy has skills.

So day after day, the guy is fidgeting with his hands as he's drinking with his buddies, and he notices he can make little patterns in the cans he is denting. He thinks he might have something here. So he tries to do something a little more purposeful instead of just crinkling the can a bit. It looks pretty good. So then he somehow sources unpainted cans? Or maybe he polishes the paint off them? And turns it into a thing.

These remind me a lot of Happy Monkey's tape creations.

It looks almost like a zen meditation thing where you let the object tell you how it wants to be bent.
