New sculpture on platform

11 May 2015

A new sculpture is now up on the Lake Terrace water treatment plant platform.

The sculpture, Upane, has been crafted by Steuart Welch and constructed in cor-ten steel. It is on loan to the Taupo Sculpture Trust.

Steuart is a farmer and owns a nursery in Marton, and a sculptor in his spare time. He has previously been a furniture maker and his artistic career began with making farm gates using found objects.

Over the years he has progressed to making finely engineered sculptures and he has exhibited widely in the central NorthIsland over the last decade.

The sculpture will remain up for the next six months.
