I guess he ran out of tinfoil.

I agree that this is a man's project, very much a "because it is there" thing.

Women throw bottle caps away.

The high res versions are incredible. those places with the gaps strike me as being very sad ... are they lost because they fell off, or because the "artist" died leaving behind that wee bit? I wonder about the order that they went onto the walls. Was there a pattern to the placements ... start in one corner and sweep out like paint spilling on the floor, or edges to center, center to edges, more random?

Would it be easier to consider art if the colors of caps made something, like a mosaic, rather than just caps stuck on the wall?
