So I finally finished this sardine can assemblage today! This work has been in process for about 6 or so months and today I finally got it to a stage I could call it finished. I am really happy with the overall design - I like the complexity of the bottom area and the simplicity of the top section. The plastic grass was the last bit to go on and Ii think it just balances out the overall composition.  It also adds a bit of nature to the piece. There isn't a real story to it. It is a shrine and it incorporates religious symbols which I love even though I am not religious. One of my main focuses for this piece was creating that sense of 'balance' and a sense of 'order'. So if you split it down the center each half is almost the same. So as we live in a pretty chaotic world having a shrine to look at which is balanced, evens things out so to speak, LOL. Also the top half is deliberately rather simple and uncluttered whereas the bottom half is busy so your eye keeps jumping up and down the shrine. The plastic grass at the top just give it that slight organic/ link to nature.

I do like this assemblage. And I appreciate the info about the LED lights, thanks. I just watched one of your videos (after watching Michael deMeng) and thought I had to investigate someone who sounded Australian. I'm on the NSW Central Coast, a book binder and just beginning to dabble in making stuff, inspired by Michael. (I am sometimes known as coralreefs so I felt some sort of kinship to you.) All the best, Carol
