These two striking figures speak of community and the social aspect of the urban environment.
Made from polished stainless steel, the reflective surfaces mirror the surroundings of the figures and the people in it as they pass by.
Artist Ben Foster wishes for the installation to stand as a reminder of our connectedness - “I am you and you are me”.
Contemporary sculptor Ben Foster draws upon the physical landscape of his New Zealand-based home, with his abstract figurative works and kinetic sculptures mirroring the dramatic surroundings of the Kaikoura mountains and sea. His artistic practice serves as a vehicle through which he explores human interactions with the land and animals with which we share our lives and spaces.
