This city skyline of flat rectangular pieces of metal, including watch bands and nail clippers, glows under a jeans’ stud moon and battery stars. All the metal was found on the streets. The cityscape is mounted on veneer, which was already painted pink and brown when found discarded in a car park. This found object assemblage is 14x32cm and weighs 0.2kg. This work is sold with either screws and wire ready for hanging, or a stand for displaying on a mantel piece or shelf. Please specify which you prefer. It can be collected by the North Melbourne area.
