Road Kill 15/06/19 Sculpture

Walking my dog Pippa I noticed these two flattened drink cans on the road. I liked the composition of colours and shape, picked them up, and created this painting-sculpture hybrid, as a commemoration to the millions of squirrels and other wild life killed on the roads. I cut their shape out of cardboard, and suspended the two cans into this void with cotton thread. The cardboard is framed with the front behind glass. The back shows the other side of the two cans These cans has been battered and crushed by car tyres into a beautiful silver and red composition. This hybrid can stand on its 1 inch deep frame, or be hung on the wall. This hybrid is multi-paneled: when standing, both sides (front and back) can be shown alternatively, see photos. On the front of this hybrid are my official signature, the date, my left thumb print, and an anti forgery stamp. The measurements include the frame, which is an integral part of this object d’art.
