“Watercut”
Cumbrian limestone
2.2m tall
1996
Client: East Cumbria Countryside Project
 
Commissioned for the Eden benchmarks project to mark the start of the River Eden footpath at the source of the river in East Cumbria. The constantly changing sky stands in for the quicksilver of the river, framed by local limestone, naturally riven on its flat surfaces, but intensively worked and polished within the river cut to create highly tactile surfaces, echoing those of water worn rock.
