Tony Feher

Grouped and hung from a central chain with thin wisps of wire radiating outward, Tony Feher’s assemblage of discarded plastic Coke bottles, each containing a slight amount of water, evokes a dysfunctional circulatory system, a translucent exoskeleton, or an elegantly suspended spine. The bottles’ distinctive but typically overlooked formal characteristics take on new meaning while a few blue caps among the red ones call to mind metaphors of disease or contamination. Remnants of the bottles’ labels are also visible, marking their transformation from consumer waste to elevated work of art.
