Hanging the Stars Out to Dry deals with the sculptural element of three dimensional artwork often incorporating found objects, such as aluminum cans, and manipulating these objects into new and sometimes unexpected forms. Since aluminum cans often call to mind recycling and the reuse of objects that could be thrown away, and hanging clothes up to dry rather than using a drier all the time both reference how an artist or designer can connect the materials they use with the actual processes of the conservation movement going on around them. In a world where the push to be green is a constant thing, reusing materials may be very relevant for some artists. The choice to have the cans portray becoming stars that hang up on the clothesline to light the night sky is one of aesthetics, the shiny surface of the cans and their slight movements bring to mind the twinkling of the stars.
