Neil Dawson’s sculptures look like they could be drawings from a cartoon.  This private commission, created in 1991, resides in Taranaki, New Zealand.  It looks like a large floating orb is being held in place by a rope tethered to the ground.  In reality, the entire sculpture is made of steel.

To see another remarkable example of Neil Dawson’s work, be sure to revisit his Horizons sculpture.
