Remnants of Flight
Remnants of Flight is a sculpture by Nick Eagles commissioned for Hobsonville Point Park in Auckland. Consisting of 222 segments of polished granite and measuring over 16 metres. Slices of stone echo the form of a bird in an individual moment of flight. Each shape has been articulated to lead into the next so, when stacked together, a dynamic sequence accumulates and can then be interpreted as a kind of inventory of lift-offs and landings, linking the site to it’s former life as an airstrip.
