Remnants of Flight

Hobsonville Point is infused with flight history and with so much change occurring in the landscape artist/designer Nick Eagles wanted to give some continuity to that history. In Remnants of Flight, sited in the Hobsonville Point Park plaza, each slice of granite replicates the 'V' form of a bird in a moment of flight. Each shape has been designed to lead into the next, so, when stacked together, a shuttered sequence and sense of movement takes shape. The sequence can then be interpreted as a kind of inventory of take-offs and landings, linking Hobsonville Point Park to its former life as an airstrip.
