Works Using Recycled Bottle Caps and Jar Lids |
|
| |
In these works I use a collection of over 100,000 bottle caps and lids to make temporary installations. The caps and lids are re-used in each new installation. In all cases, these works were made with assistance from the involved community. |

“Bryant Holsenbeck draws on the Tantric Buddhist traditions of the mandala, which traditionally are sand paintings created by Tibetan monks and designed to be destroyed after a brief life. The geometric patterns contained in Buddhist mandalas present esoteric charts of the universe. Holsenbeck echoes these shapes, but she has a more immediate message in mind. Created from thousands of colorful metal and plastic bottle caps and usually orchestrated by Holsenbeck as a community based project, her work is an argument for recycling and respect for the environment”
