A friend gave me a large collection of bottle tops she had collected herself from working in a pub. I separated them to begin with as this was what I instinctively thought to do, to distinguish colours and shapes. Using the Newcastle Brown tops, I made a star representing the star on the top of the bottle top. This was my original thought of what to do with the bottle tops and it did give quite an eye pleasing image on my studio wall.
However I began to lose interest with these bottle tops and did not really know what I wanted to do with them, or what I was trying to show with them. I believe it was down to them not having a personal link to me, similar to what the spoon and now I think about it, the shoes lacked too. These collections just appear to be sitting in my space not really doing a lot…
