'Water's
Murmur' is a steel relief for The Grosvenor Estate
in Mayfair, London. The primary element is a 3m(H)
x 3m(W) x 8mm(D) steel triptych screen which is supported
by a series of balconies.
It is a celebration of the River Westbourne. This
river flows beneath Kinnerton Street and the artwork
maps this water course on its journey through the
metropolitan landscape.
In spite of human intervention the river has maintained
its presence and course, and by extension the artwork
celebrates these indomitable qualities.
Water is associated with natural cycles of renewal
and growth, but it is also a powerful phenomenon that
is adaptable and resilient....water will always find
its level.
'Water's Murmur' aims to re-establish the link between
the city and nature. It strives to return this London
river to our lives and imaginations by celebrating
the waters that flow beneath our feet.
