Wand Magic New Zealand Artist

The wind wand created by an NZ artist is displayed along the Foreshore Coastal Walkway in New Plymouth on the North Island of New Zealand bringing to the light the magic of the wind.

Standing 45 meters in the air, the wind wand made up of a red fibre glass tube adorns the waterfront of New Plymouth in Taranaki on the North Island of New Zealand. A local New Zealand artist thought that it would be fascinating to watch this giant wand perform its magic as it dances about in the wind that blows off the waterfront in New Plymouth.

As night settles in around New Plymouth, New Zealand the wand shows off its true magic as a soft red glow is emitted from a light at the top of the wind wand. A majority of the work done by the artist, Len Lye, can now be found at the Govett Brewster Art Gallery in New Plymouth. So while visiting New Plymouth, be sure to tour through the gallery and see his life work.
