New Lynn a working class suburb of Auckland New Zealand that has name for street art both planned and unplanned. included is a wire sculpture that locals have described as a was in the local paper. "A controversial penis-shaped sculpture is nothing new for West Auckland, says deputy mayor Penny Hulse. Ms Hulse has not seen the $200,000 council-commissioned Transit Cloud sculpture at New Lynn, but encouraged people to look at it as a whole and think of it as a cloud. One of the four aluminium mesh cloud forms - hanging more than 8m over a lane linking New Lynn's shiny new railway and bus station with the town's library and shopping mall - has stunned residents. It has variously been called "masculine", "phallic", and a "penis". Ms Hulse said public art was always controversial and some people did not believe the council should get involved. But that was not the Waitakere way, she said, which firmly believed in public art and had experience with art that was controversial and then loved. Sculptor Gregor Kregar, who with his artist wife Sara Hughes and architect Davor Popadich created the work, said it was never intended to create a large phallic image in the sky.© NZ Herald" pictures Neville Marriner
