Sculpture Trail

The Sound of Rain - John Radford

One of the pages in our book we dedicated to some obscure sculptures we had found in our journeys around Auckland. The idea of the page was to give the reader the knowledge of the existence of these sculptures and then to encourage them to hunt them out if they were interested in seeing them in person.

Having found these sculptures lead onto us wondering how many there were scattered around the region, so a quest began. We started hunting out more, and more, photographing them all as we went.

As the list grew we thought it would be a good idea to start mapping out there locations as well as researching the artist behind the works. With the help of google our map was born. If you want to have a look at it use this link. The map includes a photo of each sculpture, click on the name or the pin on the map to see each photo, then click on the photo to see the full image.

The sculpture pictured above is 'The Sound of Rain' by John Radford. We include it here as it is currently missing. Apparently it was damaged and is currently back with John for repairs although that was over a year ago now. It will be sad if it is never repaired and returned to it original position.
