Chris Beeston’s "Capsule" is constructed from thin metal strips he found along curbs and sidewalks in New York City. He eventually determined that the mysterious litter was, paradoxically, bristles left behind by the city’s street-cleaning trucks. Like many artists who use found objects, Beeston is able to see potential in the detritus that many of us step over or toss out.
