Dreaming
O Último Brinde
Bottle caps have color, dents, logos, and a small record of who finished what. I want to build with that evidence. The edges will need taming.
Edge and sound study
Bottle caps from soda, beer, and other finished celebrations
DREAMING / CONSTRUCTION HAS NOT BEGUN
O Último Brinde
A dossier before an object. Materials have been named. The workbench has not accepted them yet.
OBJECT RECORD
What exists, and what it does.
Bottle caps have color, dents, logos, and a small record of who finished what. I want to build with that evidence. The edges will need taming.
O Último Brinde begins after the toast. Caps keep the dents, logos, and small histories of what people finished.
PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
Up close, attachment, seams, and wear become visible.
Compact-camera flash with dented metal macro
CONSTRUCTION RECORD
Where the surface meets the body.
Materials
Bottle caps from soda, beer, and other finished celebrations
Weight or current measure
The metal load remains part of the first test.
Construction
Flattened and domed cap tests will determine which edges can face outward.
Wear
Edge guards and spacing must protect the body and neighboring caps.
Care
Store finished samples with a barrier between metal surfaces.
