"El Anatsui. It is amazing to see the diversity of textures and surfaces that he creates from the simplest of materials.  The aluminum bottle cap and can - crushed, folded, bent, and linked together with copper wire - results in this wide array of visual possibilities.  Effects range from translucent veils to dense mosaics of rich colour. ""I believe that artists are better off working with whatever their environment throws up. I think that's what has been happening in Africa for a long time,"" Anatsui said in a 2003 interview. ""I believe that color is inherent in everything, and it's possible to get color from around you, and that you're better off picking something which relates to your circumstances and your environment than going to buy a ready-made color."" http://www.beachpackagingdesign.com/wp/2009/02/el-anatsui.html"
