Michel Tuffery flings a model warbird into the air yesterday as part of his Festival of Colour installation art piece Pouwhenua. Photo by Matthew Haggart.
Tuffery's kinetic art installation involved a group of about 25 people flinging hand-crafted, individually decorated, cutout aircraft models into the air and over Bullock Creek lagoon.
The Festival of Colour's Pouwhenua project brought four artists to Wanaka to produce work in line with a theme of "Markers on the Land".
Most of the helpers left with a souvenir after helping Tuffery make the model warbirds at a workshop during the week.
