Sky Snakes are coming to New Plymouth.
No, it's not a bad omen - it's a new Len Lye sculpture that will make its world premiere at celebrations to mark the 50th anniversary of the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery tomorrow.
The seven swirling Sky Snakes hang from the ceiling and spin to create dancing patterns of light and movement.
The Gallery's co-director Aileen Burns speaks to Corin Dann.
