This work demonstrates the creative method known as "kit-bashing." Originating with the world of model builders, kit-bashing happens when you throw away the instructions that tell you what something is supposed to be and and use the parts instead to create whatever your imagine can conjure. Glenn Kaino started with a plastic model then using the lost-wax casting technique, he made a metal copy of each of the pieces then gold plated them. He then used the gold pieces to construct this composition.
