Momentum

In tune with the Taupo ‘o’, this interactive work by Ben Foster reflects the sun’s rays as it rotates. Located in the aptly-named Suncourt Plaza, MOMENTUM was created in 2011 and is made from cast aluminium and stainless steel. 

A joint commission by Taupo Sculpture Trust, and the Taupo District Council.  Funded by Gary Traveller, Taupo District Council.

Drawing inspiration from nature and geometric shapes, Ben Foster is responsible for two commissioned sculptures for the Trust: MOMENTUM and TWIST II — also located in Suncourt. You can see TWIST II here.
