It is a property in North Auckland with Kaipara Harbour in the background that is also the largest harbor in whole of Southern Hemisphere.

In the following sections, we will look at some of the most fascinating sculptures present in Gibbs Farm, making it one of the popular destinations for art lovers and general visitors alike.<!--more--><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-35745\" src=\"https:\/\/designbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Gibbs-Farm-Dismemberment.jpg\" alt=\"Gibbs Farm Dismemberment\" width=\"600\" height=\"301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/designbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Gibbs-Farm-Dismemberment.jpg 600w, https:\/\/designbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Gibbs-Farm-Dismemberment-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/designbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Gibbs-Farm-Dismemberment-297x148.jpg 297w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dismemberment<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>Designed by Anish Kapoor, the Dismemberment is a sculpture consisting of a large PVC membrane stretched between two huge steel ellipses.

Eric thus created a large sculpture, the Electrum, which is capable of tossing lightning bolts.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-35742\" src=\"https:\/\/designbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Colored-Squares.jpg\" alt=\"Colored Squares\" width=\"600\" height=\"316\" srcset=\"https:\/\/designbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Colored-Squares.jpg 600w, https:\/\/designbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Colored-Squares-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/designbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Colored-Squares-297x156.jpg 297w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Colored Squares<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>Created by Richard Thompson, Colored Squares is a sculpture wherein you find an abstract composition of different color, such as red or black, with each of your circumnavigating step.

These stones have been used for creating the Roman arches that bring back memories of migration, genealogy and different architectural traditions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sculptures are a great way of depicting inner emotions and feelings. We get to see many sculptures at Gibbs Farm that do this quite effectively.
