The statue is called "Solace In The Wind" by Brit born Sculptor Max Patte who works (still?) for Weta Workshop who are the guys and gals that helped give us Lord Of The Rings, King Kong and much more - based in my home suburb, Miramar (more at http://www.wetanz.com/holics/index.php?itemid=165&catid=2).

It is on the Wellington waterfront in front of Te Papa (New Zealand national museum) - here's a map to see exactly where: http://www.zoomin.co.nz/info/nz/wellington/te+aro/-solace+of+the+wind+statue/; January 21, 2009 3:44 PM
