It took Benjamin Shine 11 years to pop the question and he knew he had to make up for it. So the Canberra-based sculptor took his usual artwork to the next level, this time creating a portrait of himself and his new wife Danielle Stone with 4km of mesh for their big day. The impressive sculpture and installation of the artwork, which took Mr Shine just a month to construct, takes the form of two ribbons which float from the air as they loop and meander around trees and entwine into the silhouette of the couple.

That's beautiful!

Very elegant. I like the way the two threads twine together and trail off into the woods.

The craftsmanship is amazing and I love the trailing ribbons through the woods. The faces are a little egotistical for my tastes. I'd prefer something more abstract or representational.

What a fabulous self-portrait!

Incredible. It looks like someone photoshopped it into the picture of the two of them.
