I remember back in the day fellow students being rather creative with beer cans. I was never much of a drinker, but there was always one in the group ready to make it an olympic sport. They probably had some kind of stupid nickname like 'The Guzzler' or 'The Chugger', otherwise they'd just be another fat kid at college.
When there was beer aplenty, their creativity would be unleashed, and after a slothful fit of swaying activity the party would suddenly be filled with beer can pyramids, beer can bongs, mountains of beer cans crushed with one hand, and the occassional bizarre hat, but never, and I mean never anything as charming as Paul Villinksi's Beer Can Butterflies…
Villinksi's raw materials are nothing more crushed beer cans from the streets of New York, his process of “recycling” them into images of butterflies is for him "a quiet physical meditation, a yoga of tin snips and files and fingers." I love the frissance in this series, essentially something as base as a beer can taking flight, nice idea!

Your work is just beautiful and it was a pleasure to look at it all. I simply ADORE butterflies
