Pick of the Litter

2017, Injection-welded post-industrial plastic, bottle caps, hardware, and LEDs, 55 x 25 x 24 in | 139.7 × 63.5 × 60.96 cm

This suspended sculpture is made from decommissioned highway safety drums (NYS DOT) and industrial detergent barrels that were cleaned, cut, and injection-welded together, creating hollow forms that house LEDs. The LEDs can be replaced when they burn out by simply unscrewing the bottle caps. The LEDs typically last ~10 years.
