On Sunday September 9th 2007 the first sculpture commissioned by the Palmerston North Public Sculpture Trust was formally unveiled in its site in Coleman Mall.
The sculpture is by artist Anton Parsons, who lives in Auckland but grew up and went to school in Palmerston North. He has had extensive experience with large works in Wellington and Auckland as well as numerous works in public art collections. It is titled "Numbers" and is a joyful, celebratory piece made up of a series of stainless steel cubes joined in a loop with random numbers in sheet bronze riveted on. The numbers could portray anything from secret codes to mathematical formulae to ordinary things like the first building blocks of a child's learning with no particular intent asserted by the artist.

Media (materials) used: Stainless Steel and Bronze.
Location (specific park, transit center, library, etc.): Northwest corner of The Square, at Coleman Place corner, near the City Library.
