El Anatsui is a Ghanaian sculptor who spends most of his career in Nigeria. Many of his works are created with bottle tops in a large scale piece. I chose this piece because I love the way it is placed. It goes from the floor to off the wall. The twist and turns are really impressive. I think it also stands on its own on the left, which is neat. Anatsui work is interesting because of the use of the bottle caps. I could not imagine how many bottle caps he has collected over his years as an artist. I also enjoy how he does not give instructions on how to set up his work at museums because it gives an art a chance to change a bit each time.
