English sculptor Max Patte's Solace in the Wind was unveiled February 2008 - a two-metre-high iron figure leaning forward into a cross-harbour gale with eyes closed and arms held back. The site on which the sculpture stands was of great significance to Max. The sculpture's suspended pose was one he had tried personally, and the area had been a comfort to him during difficult times - it was somewhere for him to reflect upon life - a place of solace." http://www.wellingtonwaterfront.co.nz/experience/art_and_design/ john > -----Original Message----- > > Hi John, > So what is the story of the bronze statue upon which was draped the wool > scarf? > A curious mind wants to know. > Howard > > Date: Sat, 15 Jun 2013 22:28:28 +0000 > > Been quite a wet week so limited shooting.... > > http://johnmcmaster.com/PAW/2013/24 > > C & C welcome > > john > > >
