Spiral Artwork

Wednesday, 3rd August 2005 by

There’s some really cool Spiral artwork on a farmland near Snells Beach, New Zealand. The 80m wide artwork represents a Koru and is made of clay covered in grass. A recent New Zealand Herald article has more about the piece and how some Google Earth users tracked down the artist. Thanks: woowoowoo & Croaky
