This is a short multicache that has been placed to show you the first of several proposed large public artworks for the Wairarapa. It was officially opened on 7th December 2012.
Windgrass
The Aratoi Foundation has funded the $40,000 Konstantin Dimopoulos sculpture Windgrass, which stands more than six metres high in Featherston and sways in the wind. Given Featherston's blustery reputation, the tall mass of red-tipped yellow rods in Clifford Square is sure to be put through its paces.
This is the tallest sculpture he has ever made. A feature of this work is the sound that the rods make when the wind blows them, a kind of clattering sound. The swaying linear structures are meant to symbolise the bullrushes on Wairarapa's countryside.With up-lighting at night time the yellow moving rods will also resemble fire with its ochre-tipped extremities.
The cache is a small, white container with a logsheet only so PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN PEN. You can find the cache at the following:
S 41º 06. ABC E 175º 19.DEF
