“Heaving of sea with waves that do not break after a storm.” — O.E.D.

“This sculpture is designed to be placed for preference at rather a low level — about 30″ from the ground. Two circular penetrations, one on each of the long sides, curve downwards to emerge on the underside of the work, leaving the top surfaces as an unbroken flow of concavities with strong cursive outlines. Thus the more turbulent shapes remain below.” Hugo Powell
