Aesthetically very pleasing and the way the form wends -- twisted, bent and curved three dimensionally -- is very intriguing. The slow movement of the lines brings the underlying static element of the installation to life, evoking the dichotomous nature of inland waterways and watersheds: still yet moving; moving yet still.
