Secret Artworks

27 Bottle Caps. Acrylic and steel on painted found frame. 7 x 5 in.

This is the piece I made for Secret Artworks, a fundraiser for Artworks, a not-for-profit organization that among other things paints murals all over Cincinnati. I was happy to see that this piece was snatched up quickly.

The Secret Artworks pieces were all by local artists and had to be 5 x 7 inches. For mine I took a 4 x 6 frame (with outer dimensions of 5 x 7). I stuck a grid of bottle caps to the inside of the frame. You probably can’t tell, but the piece is very dimensional. I stacked the bottle caps in heights of one, two or three. Then I painted everything with bright acrylic paint.
