Christchurch Airport

December 27, 2012

This is a sculpture at the Christchurch Airport. The airport has had ongoing and rather extensive renovations and it’s looking rather spiffy inside and out. There are coloured LED lights, the traffic control tower that looks like an artwork and of course the actual artwork depicted above. I flew into Christchurch tonight after being in Wellington for a few days. Now if you want to make a Cantabrian slightly edgy, have them holiday in Wellington and stay on the 24th floor of an inner-city high rise hotel.

Nice to be back home to a lovely dusky sky.

Bronze Bulls on Madras Street

June 28, 2012

These wonderful Bull sculptures can be seen on Madras Street at the moment – they will be part of an exhibition at NG Gallery on Madras Street by artist Michael Parekowhai.

I’ll definitely be checking out the exhibition next week – I’ve really missed having somewhere to go and view art.

Lyttelton Empty Lot with Mystery Creature

Spotted in a vacant lot in Lyttelton. Something resembling a dinosaur crossed with a tortoise? Well the seagull was a fan of it whatever it is.

Sculpture or Not?

April 10, 2012

Someone told me there was a sculpture on Brougham Street and I even saw it with my own eyes as I drove past. But on closer inspection I started to doubt it was a sculpture. Perhaps it was just some random pipes and gauges left over from the building that was on this site (the LWR building). Now I am thinking that if we think it is a sculpture, then it is a sculpture!

What do you think?
