Production Method:
Design work on a
river/water
theme was undertaken by Phil and Diane in 2006.
The 6m high sculpture was fabricated in stainless steel by Alex Brinkworth Engineering of Stroud - (email: brinkwortheng@talktalk.net).
The contract was run by Afan Landscapes Limited www.afanlandscapes.co.uk who are to be congratulated on quick processing of invoices!
It was transported to site by Damon Bramley - Sculpture Transport and Installation - (email: damon@boxcottage.plus.com). Damon and Alex assisted Phil in siting the work in May 2007.
Diane designed 10 glass panels for the railings. Jackson Fawkes collaborated on the design, cut and fused the glass and added a texture to the panels which they also installed.
