Te Ngakau by @Thorvald (El Thorvaldo)

A Side 7 exclusive! Te Ngakau Civic Square, Wellington, New Zealand. In 1987 in conjunction with refurbishment of existing buildings, the city council commissioned a redevelopment of the square, completed in 1992. Ringing the plaza from left to right: the Municipal Office Building, council offices, Wellington Central Library, and Te Whare Toi, the City Gallery; the town hall proper and Michael Fowler Centre are off-camera to the left. An underground carpark lies below the square itself.

Suspended above the plaza by lateral wires is Ferns, a metal sculpture by Neil Dawson formed from eleven individual branches. Originally installed in 1998, it was replaced in stainless steel in 2015.
