Neil Dawson, Horizons, 1994

This eye-catching sculpture looks like a cartoonist conjured up a giant piece of corrugated iron, only to have it drift from the page and eventually land upon a New Zealand hilltop. Like all of the awe-inspiring sculptures made by its creator, the New Zealand artist Neil Dawson, it did indeed begin life as free-hand sketch, but, while its final iteration appears light as a feather, it is in fact rendered in welded and painted steel. The sculpture was one of the earliest pieces commissioned for the Gibbs Farm, a striking sculpture collection overlooking the Kaipara Harbour in North Auckland, and sits on the site’s highest point, garnering attention from near and far.
