Heavy Metal Detox by Naoibh McNamee

Naoibh wears a full hood and jacket made of can tabs. It resembles chain mail, but with bell sleeves and a covered face.

Over 10,000 can tabs collected from bars, pubs, restaurants, offices, 18th birthday parties, pavements, and kindhearted beverage drinkers from Birmingham and beyond.

This work reflects on my relationship with alcohol as a young person and the community that has supported me through adulthood.

PROGRESS ONGOING.
