Refined Context

After looking for precedents which relate to what i am aiming to make, i have decided to go with a garden sculpture made from a native New Zealand wood. The idea behind this context is i would like to restore some of the feeling that may have been lost during the period where the earthquakes have been effecting this area. I think it would be nice to have a large scale lighting object that can be placed either in the garden, or alternatively in any outdoor living area or entertaining area. To light this sculpture i will use LED lights as they give off an even light distribution, and with the help of frosted acrylic i think the lighting would be more of an ambient glow which would look nice in such an environment. The form is an important part to this project so i want to create a design which symbolizes hope, and a new start which is why i have 3 stems reaching toward the sky like a plant growing upward.
