Be Like Water

2010, Approx. 25 x 25 x 25 ft | 7.62 x 7.62 x 7.62m, post-consumer plastic (80,000 bottle caps, 9,000 polyethylene terephthalate bottles), tinted polycrylic, hardware. 

Be Like Water has been installed at the David Owsley Museum of Art, Ball State University, Muncie, IN, Skybox in Philadelphia, PA, The McColl Center for Art and Innovation in Charlotte, NC, and The Riverside Art Museum in Beijing, China. It was originally commissioned for a temporary exhibition at Skybox by the City of Philadelphia Office of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy; this cascading suspended installation adapts fluidly to different architectural environments. Composed of 80,000 discarded bottle caps and 9,000 plastic bottles, this intervention glows with natural light, transforming plastic waste into an uplifting installation.
