Steve Rumore

Steve Rumore finds inspiration throughout New Zealand in land, people and nature. For over 35 years he has been molding metal to fit practical and artistic applications, with his favourite application being functional art.

Steve's kinetic and/or stationary sculptures blend engineering precision with stunning aesthetic. He feels deeply satisfied with perfect balance, easeful movement action, meticulous fit. 

Whether the genre is contemporary, natural, classical, Maori, abstract, or another, these qualities presence themselves in each heartful and mindful piece.

​From steel garden sculptures, main pieces to catch attention, to custom steel sculpture orders of any size including kinetic sculptures with motors, Steve can bring anything to life.

About 'Updraft'

Let your cares float away as you peacefully watch Updraft mysteriously move with the wind: up, down, 360 degrees around.

Updraft blends graceful form and great function. It accurately always points downwind, acting as a weather vane via highly skilled metal crafting from Steve Rumore of Metalworks Wanaka that results in a stunning centre-piece for any view.

Poised on a tall mounting post, the kinetic balancing arm and the hand built bird can be taken apart, flat packed and re-installed easily. This sculpture can come to your home with as much grace and ease as it inspires!
