Copper, water, solar panels and pump

“This textural independence within a manmade enclosure sitting in a natural environment exists as a metaphor for mankind’s industrial activities. The work illustrates that although this often has a disruptive effect on our natural landscape if approach with a sensitivity and understanding of interdependency, these activities can exist in, and enhance upon, our appreciation of nature– just as the sculpture enriches the natural beauty of its setting by responding to light and weather conditions. 

By using solar power to drive the sculpture’s kinetics the work foregrounds the sustainable technologies essential to our future.​ 

The use of copper, as well as providing a rich visual interaction with its surroundings, anticipates an abundance of recycled material as our existing copper communications infrastructure (the copper wires used in telecommunications) is replaced by fibre optic.”
