My collection of cans, picked up off the streets after being totally flattened by cars, provided amazing, two-dimensional graphics of these familiar 3D objects.
I’ve always had a fascination for the 2-dimensional nature of flattened, discarded material like this. At college, I remember painting the two sides of a flattened IrnBru can, just for the hell of it (below). Having found this ‘Rusty Cola’ can on the street several years ago, I used it as the first of my found ‘Cans’ series of large prints on canvas.
These followed the ‘Waves’ series that features colourful water reflections from photographs I’ve shot in Barcelona, Paris, Crete, London and Edinburgh.
