Quote from the artist – “The energy of the wind brings life through movement. The four points of axis amplify the wind for us, the wings harness its chaos and flow. As a family they interact in a playful manner, disagreeing, creating eddies, stealing each others wind, then finally moving together.”

Listed on the 1998 map as WindBlow. High on Bogle Crag trail, four wooden wind thrusts which would move depending on the wind direction. Originally sited where the trees had just been felled on an open hill top, the wind would swivel the heads around. Above is how they looked when new.

Later the trees grew up and they were in a small clearing. One of the four arrowheads that swivelled had gone at this point. The last time I saw them was 2014 a year before they were removed. At this point they each faced a different direction.

In 2015 they were removed, the posts all sawn at the bottom.
