Default Searching for an image of a neat illusion/art piece

I saw a picture of this art piece where the artist used silverware and a single light to create a shadow that looks exactly like the silhouette of a motorcycle

Has anyone seen this? More importantly, can anybody find a picture of it?

I googled motorcycle shadow art and ended up finding it on somebody's my space page. Couldn't find the artist. Glad you got the info.
