Two sculptures which also function as benches. Vitreous glass mosaic tiles are laid over the surface of reinforced concrete forms. The intricate and flowing rhythms of the mosaic tessera have been used to evoke the movement of water and the many shades and colours of the water, sea and sky in different weathers. The theme of water, the river Thames and it's history is evoked in the shapes of the sculptures themselves. View of sculptures adjacent to Tower Bridge.
