Description

Standard-size shoulder bag constructed entirely by hand from aluminum can tabs. The tabs were collected over time from family and friends, then cleaned, sorted, and crocheted into a flexible, interlocking structure.

The bag holds its form through repetition and tension rather than internal supports. Its surface records accumulation, use, and time spent working small discarded parts into something durable and functional.
