Conch Key is one of the last unspoiled islands in the Florida Keys. As I walked on the bridge to Long Key every morning, I saw many fisher people. Many walked a 1/2 mile out onto the bridge to set up their fishing station. Some were elaborate, on wheeled carts, with refrigerated bait coolers, seats and, of course beverages. I saw many fish tails from the bait and many rusted Corona caps, walked on and flattened in delightfully symmetrical shapes. These two found objects represented the bridge to me.
I combined these items with Swarovski crystals to set up a dynamic dialoge with those caps and tails-each which hols a singular story of the person who left them on the bridge.
