El Anatsui builds enormous hanging forms from thousands of discarded metal bottle tops and fragments. From a distance Behind the Red Moon can resemble woven fabric, although nothing about its material should behave like cloth. That transformation stays with me. Something industrial, repetitive and discarded becomes flexible, fragile-looking and almost weightless. Material carries its previous life into the new one.
