Gold Bic Pen Cap
solid gold, cast from the cap of a Bic pen

'By replacing the cap of a standard Bic pen with a cast gold replica, this ubiquitous, generic writing implement is aligned with aspirations of luxury and trophies of academic and corporate achievement. It transforms the Bic pen it covers from a disposable tool into a hybrid carrier of value its owner might not want to misplace.'

Daniel Eatock's work ranges from high end commercial graphic design to what could almost be classed as pure art practice. Objects are a continued theme in many of his projects. see more here.
