Notes | ||
A kinetic sculpture of birds on a branching pole. Stainless steel figures of 11 birds in flight mounted on top of a pole about seven metres high. This branches at the top into three vertically-mounted smaller poles from which project curved arms supporting the cut-out figures of the birds. The poles on which these arms are mounted can revolve, allowing the birds to move in the wind as a weathervane does. | ||
