The Wind Wand

The Wind Wand in New Plymouth is a sculpture designed by Len Lye, a New Zealand artist.   It is a  narrow red fibre glass tube, 200mm in diameter, the Windwand stands 45 metres high on the foreshore of New Plymouth. Weighing approximately 900kg, the Wind Wand can bend at least 20 metres. At night, a light at the top of the Wand emits a soft red glow
