Scenic Sunday - The 4 Plinths

The four plinths located outside the Te Papa - Museum of New Zealand in Wellington, New Zealand showcase temporary sculptures. The sculptures are changed every two years.

Here are the current ones by Peter Trevelyan "Mimetic Brotherhood" - four bulbous kinetic forms made from hinged and mirrored equilateral triangle that envelope the plinths. They are an ever-changing translation of their environment as the constantly shifting surfaces reflect the surroundings.

Information taken from The New Zealand Hearld.

They are quite large and look quite solid until you touch them. Didn't think much of them when I first looked at them, but they kind of grow on you. And they look quite good in the pic.

NaBloPoMo 04 - Thursday Challenge - Protoplasm

Sculptures are sprinkled all over my city. Strange that until I walked around with my camera I never noticed them.

I've often wondered why these sculptures were set up in the city.  Apparently;
These art works came into being due to the shared vision of individuals, government agencies, and corporations who value the relationship of art and city, to brighten the lives of its citizens. (Taken from Wellington a city for Sculpture)

So here is a sculpture titled Protoplasm.

Protoplasm definition from Wikipedia - Protoplasm
Protoplasm is the living contents of a cell that is surrounded by a plasma membrane. It is a general term of the Cytoplasm (cell membrane).

The thing that came to mind when I first saw it was M&Ms. But it's quite interesting to see "Protoplasm" bend and sway in the wind. This photo is taken on a relatively calmer day.
