Lightwing Sculpture Project

Seaview/Gracefield Sculpture

E Tu Awakairangi Hutt Public Art Trust is seeking support for the installation of a public art work.

The Lightwing sculpture will be an iconic and innovative marker for the Seaview/Gracefield area of Lower Hutt.

The sculpture is comprised of a series of “fin or feather” shapes, that stand over five metres tall. This work plays with form and light and will be installed on the Seaview/Gracefield roundabout.

This sculpture is designed by leading designer and artist Andrew Thomas in response to the special characteristics of the Seaview / Gracefield areas - its environment, history and contemporary role as a centre of industry, creativity, commerce and research.

The sculpture will be entirely made in Seaview/ Gracefield, showcasing the range and skills of businesses in the area.

There are still opportunities for local businesses and individuals to become partners in this exciting project.

The Trust has raised $230,000 towards the project with the support of the following partners:

Hutt City Council

MJH Engineering

Dulux

Workshop e

HJ Asmuss

Seaview Blasting

Titan Cranes

However a further $7,000 is still required to complete this project.
