Startlingly lovely.<\/p>\n

Sculptor <\/span><\/span>Noah Deledda<\/a> <\/span>transforms everyday aluminum cans into works of art using nothing but his fingertips. Deledda carefully presses and creases intricate geometric patterns into the surface of plain cylindrical cans using carefully placed pressure from his fingers and the edge of his nails. The artist explains in a statement on his site, \u201cThrough sculpture I try to create something unique out of an ordinary object. In this case, a common disposable object. The technique itself also embodies this theme of elevation by implementing the incidental gestures of disposal, the \u2018scratch, dent and crease.\u2019 Through artistic principles these actions are re-imagined.\u201d Deledda shares process videos on <\/span><\/span>Instagram<\/a> <\/span>and his <\/span><\/span>website<\/a>, where his sculptural vessels are also available for purchase. <\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
