Ballina Public Art – The Wind Never Sleeps Sculpture

The Wind Never Sleeps is a captivating series of aluminium garden sculptures by local artist Paul Harrington, created as a physical portrayal of the interaction between wind and the environment. The work captures movement in stillness — the invisible energy of the wind expressed through elegant, sculptural form.

Each piece reflects the constant dance between nature’s forces, evoking a sense of flow and connection that’s deeply tied to Ballina’s coastal landscape. Whether experienced up close or from a distance, the sculptures shimmer and shift with changing light, echoing the rhythm of the natural world they represent.

Inspired by travel, music, and emotion, Paul’s work explores the relationship between movement, place, and feeling. His artistic practice combines technical precision with expressive energy — transforming everyday materials into reflections of the landscapes and experiences that shape him.
